>>>I will do my best to attend all Daisy babble support meetings. I'll bring chocolate donuts and pour the coffee. Whatever you decide on allowing yourself to need your therapist more, I hope that you aren't letting that negative voice in your head tell you that you aren't worthy of his care. You are.
<<Thank you, Poet. I love chocolate donuts and coffee is an essential food group. Thank goodness you didn't say fruit and bagels!
Worthy is still a hard word for me. It is more like being self-indulgent...need vs. want. Some weeks I'm sure I need therapy, other weeks I'm think I just want therapy. So I struggle.
I'm like you in that even those I've talked to about therapy, or my therapist, don't know why I'm going. I think I've told 2 people any content at all...mostly people assume it is stress overload. But this is all powerfully private. So sharing on Babble is safe, but IRL, no way.
So, I'm going to try the experiment for now. We talked about Thanksgiving. We are both in town and he told me we'd work something out about sessions. I think of it as a weekend, he said, "it's only one day." (big sigh of relief)Ridiculous though, that I think 5 days is a really long time. *sigh*
