I wish I could've seen my t...

This week
He couldn't make the appointment

The thing is, that I've got some memories bothering me, because I started this therapy group, and they were talking about some physical violence stuff.
And I don't know if I'm going to stay in this group. I'm going to give it 2 months in total, then decide. It's been 2 weeks so far. I don't feel like I fit in. The other people seem more together than I am.
And I had bad dreams last night, partially about kids I grew up with, not fitting in with them either.
2 months.. I figure that'll mean that I gave it a chance.

I think it's terrific that you're willing to give it a chance. Has the group been together a while? Two weeks is a very short period of time. It probably takes longer than that to feel part of something.

I wish you could have seen your therapist too. :(

Thanks, Dinah. I think everyone else has been there at least 6 months. I'm not sure that they have a lot of problems. I don't want to freak anyone out or overwhelm them. Yeah, it wasn't the best time not to see my t, but I guess I've survived. ;-)

I feel a bit infantile. I want attention. I'm not used to having upsetting things come up in a therapy session without my t there.

Will you be seeing your therapist again soon?

It does seem a bit sad that seeing them is based on schedule rather than on need.

Thursday, hopefully!
It's our regular appointment time. He's usually pretty reliable.
I'm feeling a bit needy.

I'm really taking this personally now.

I would too.

Does he have a good excuse at least?

Yeah, but I still thought about all sorts of scenarios involving him trying to get rid of me. Sometimes I hate being in therapy. I spoke with him about it, so now I feel like an *ss too.
I know not everything is about me, but emotionally I can be very much the opposite.
