Therapy

I have a really good therapist.  I believe her to be good anyway.  She is kind and repeats my thoughts and self-reflections in a certain manner.  The best way to describe it is like this:  Do you know when you talk to yourself ?  Be it out loud or in your head and there is no one (conveniently) there to answer back except for you.  With "C" she is the one responding to those voices in my head.  And she says stuff that my inner voices don't.  Wow.

It helps to have a sounding board for all those things that have nothing to with my childhood, my parents, my upbringing, teen years, the 20s (really, who needs drugs when you are in your 20s).  Because really, my past is just fine.  No, it all has to do with me right now.  Dealing with me and all that is me right now.  And the moving forward part...... that's tricky.

We take pictures to capture all the good times and good experiences, for all the other not so pleasant stuff we seek help.  Rather we can if we choose to.   And you know, it has it's benefits.  Seeking counsel that is.  I'm learning a lot about myself:

That I talk a lot
That I am slow
That it takes me a loooooooong time to get to a point if there is one.
That I love me.
That I am good
