Thought I would come back here and update this thread which I started about this counselor some time ago.
Last week I returned to see this counselor to go over a situation that has been bothering me for quite some time. In fact, I had talked to her about it when I was seeing her. Anyway, the situation resolved on its own and I'm now taking the time to heal from it.
As I went over some of the suggestions that this counselor had about this situation, I wanted to say, no, to her over and over but I didn't. I realized she was seeing that same person that I was when I first began seeing her. I even noticed myself reverting back to be the person she wanted me to be. I was asking about how her summer was, does she still have migraines, etc.
Thus, I then knew that I needed to cancel the next appointment she had scheduled for me for later this month which I did yesterday. My anxiety was sky high, with sending her that e-mail. Needless to say, I'm so glad that I did and I was able to stand up for myself and do what I needed to do to take care of me.
Of course, today, there are more emotions that I hadn't looked at, so now I know why I
needed to return to see her one more time. More healing to do where she is concerned. The door is still open so if I do see her again, I will be aware of my expectations of her.
I will get through the holidays!!! This year, they already feel different, not like the ones in the past!
