LOL, I know I only put the bad stuff in the post, which was such a small part of our session, which actually ran over just a bit. I'm actually VERY looking forward to going back, and I'm going to ask to see him once a week, so we can get the therapy thing going in full swing before the kids are back in school.
He really helped me with acknowledging and trying to accept that my feelings about being overwhelmed by my kids were okay and valid. That I needed and deserved breaks for me. He wants me to get on with going back to school, so that I'll find some self satisfaction when our toddler is in school. He wants my husband and I to date, so we keep the marriage alive. He helped me try to think about ways to deal with my anxiety.
He really was very kind, and helpful, and I'm sure there are reasons why he asked what he did. It goes back to thinking about what he said, and thinking and thinking and thinking...... (When my p-doc says things that don't sit right with me, it keeps me up at night, although I know he's SO kind, and I'm just being overly sensitive. One time I "heard" frustration in his voice, and it crushed me for a week! I don't want him to dislike me, or think I'm a pain in the *utt) I just have to go back to the T, and ask WHY the questions are applicable, and depending on what he says, tell him that they hurt me and why. Maybe, since I'm expressing some dissatisfaction, he figures I'm having a mid-life crisis, which I am. Which would explain the question about menopause. Pretty smart, huh? LOL
