Going To A New Resource Tomorrow

Thought you might like this quote, I came across it yesterday:

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" - Mary Anne Radmacher

That quote is in the inspirations thread. I forgot I originally saw it there. Not one of my better moments. Duh.

Thank you guys so much for your encouragement.

I went today and it wasn't too bad (although I was tired and anxious). My regular counselor stayed the entire time and talking with both Ts was nice. The other T wasn't offended at all when I told her I'd rather stay with my current counselor--she told me that if I ever need her that I can call though.

The talk got my counselor really excited, I think. She realized something about me that I'd never thought of and is using it to give me more 'homework' over my holiday break. I am still going to try staying in contact with the other T though, because she WAS really nice.

I am still so relieved that my counselor stayed with me today and it reminded me that she really does care about me, something I wonder with all the people in my life. She even hugged me today and I'm proud of myself because I didn't flinch or recoil (which usually happens) so now I'm rather certain I trust her very much.

This was an anxiety-inducing experience but I'm glad my RD helped me reach out to another resource.

Thank you guys again for encouraging me!

I am happy for you that it all worked out. It turned out to be a good experience for you.

That's great Ayasha! I'm sure it did give your therapist some new insight. Sometimes you just need another pair of eyes to get out of any ruts. Awesome job!

Thanks you guys,

I'm going to tell my counselor that I'm okay with them consulting about me, I really don't mind because this other T is a specialist in cases like mine and she was really nice. I just want to keep my counselor who has been with me through this entire process.
