What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Confused :tdown:
My T wants to start skipping once a month. He said something about it might force things about connecting deeper to come up. Not sure....I wasn't too with it and really didn't comprehend many things he said. I know his schedule is really full. He probably needs to free up some time for other client appts.

For the first half hour barely a word was spoken by either of us. Quite uncomfortable. He'd ask a question and I just couldn't open my mouth to answer. Finally, towards the end of the session I said a few things then closed my notebook to leave. Not sure I am going back again. Think I'm done with all of this sh*t.

(((Iam))) Is it just this appt. or have you had problems in the past?

I've had this in the past, just an uncomfortable, long silence. I gave up after that one told me I wasn't right for therapy. My current T allows me time to formulate my thoughts into words. If I can't do that and reply to his question of 'what did that bring up' he will move on and ask, 'what are you seeing?' He knows I'm not in the room with him and telling him what I am seeing rather than feeling is easier. Then he moves onto the feeling/thoughts.

Not sure I am going back again. Think I'm done with all of this sh*t.

Try not to make a hurried decision, think it through, be kind to yourself and then decide.

Tired......didn't sleep much thanks to dreams

frustrated, anxious, isolated, angry, and a lot of things I can't seem to figure out today.

I think I'm going to crawl back in bed.
 
Looking forward to spending time with friends.
Feeling positive today.
Feeling confiidente.
Feeling acccepted by others AND by myself. Self acceptance is huge. Been a long time since I felt I accepted me for me. Feels wonderful.
 
It's only happened a couple of time Kath. He allows plenty of time and keeps asking different questions. He even asked me if there was something specific he could ask that would help LOL. It's not him though he and my other T are quite different. He'll keep asking questions and when I do happen to look up he is staring off someplace else to give me space I think. My other T stays silent and won't stop looking at me, waiting for however long it takes for me to answer. Neither approach is better, just different.
 
Cabin fever mixed with a compound of inertia and restlessness that makes me want to break out and do something, but the reigns are held tight as I avoid ample stimuli and still I do sit...:O_o:
 
Our Crystal is home... and the dog is really reving up... I hope my mister comes home soon I feel

inadequate (trying to manage a dog and a post surgical cat at the same time)
