Thought it would be really cool to have a post about the good that we’re doing!
For me, I’ve learned a lot from my previous therapy and how I want to show up differently to be more productive. I’m not obsessed with what my new t thinks about me and feel he cares which is awesome. I’m being very direct and open and while I’ll sometimes write here what I want to say to him, I’ve always actually said it to him as well. I speak openly about how anxious I get there and that has really helped lessen it over the weeks. While I did have one session that was all small talk it really helped create some space the next time to say things I haven’t said yet. I am also showing up differently and saying new things, being more myself there. I’m also able to set my own email boundaries and tell myself “you know, I want to write to him about this but it can totally wait” because I don’t want therapy to permeate my entire week like it does if I sort of extend the session with email. Although if I really needed to say something mid-week I would. So I’m proud of how I’m doing and have confidence that I will allow myself to be more vulnerable over time with him.
