Appointment # well over 50
November 10, 2007You’d think by now, after 50 appointments, we wouldn’t be talking about the same stuff.
But oh yes, we are.
Intimacy issues
Cancer/Survivorship issues
Worth issues
Stress issues
Financial issues
Adoption issues
God/Christianity
All topics under discussion at my appointments with #5.
Sometimes it makes me wonder if I will ever get fully through some of this crap. There are occasions when I think I’m getting somewhere, but then during my next session, I end up using half of #5’s box of kleenex with my snotty, teary self falling apart in his office.
Therapy is both a bane and a blessing. On one hand it brings up deep down bits of me didn’t even know I had, which can be hell. On the other, I know in the end it is better to face these bits because of the relief I often feel after I have a session. Some of that relief I know is based on the reminder #5 gives me of God’s love for me, how He has forgiven me for my past mistakes and sins.
Hey, there’s nothing wrong with continuing to talk of the same things during your therapy sessions. Those are some hug issues you’re dealing with. They deserve a lot of time!
Hey, while I’m here I wanted to let you know that, just in time for the holidays, I’m hosting a Hot Deals for a Cool Christmas information exchange. Please stop by and check out the details!
I sometimes call myself a “Therapy Lifer.”
Ah yes. Some of the same issues you face, not all of them. Some other issues in their place.
Why it takes so bloody long, I don’t know.
I do understand how frustrating it all is.
*hugs*
