> As far as being able to tolerate therapy...again, don't take it too seriously. I swear, if anyone who knows me saw me in a therapy session, they would be shocked. I'm NOT the same person, maybe I'm more real, but certainly I keep my competent self out front everywhere else, including the doctor's office.
See, that is exactly how I am. I think he's basing this on how I act with him, which is reasonable. But, I think I would open up more to a woman, even though I have major trust issues with women (and men).
I often think if my therapist saw me at work, he would be shocked (ok, he does how much I hide stuff).
If my therapist saw me anywhere outside of his office, he would be shocked. I think he thinks I'm some kind of seriously delusional person. I'm not, I'm actually quite competent.
>You just have to find someone you want to work with and then build trust.
Thanks for that advice. Thats what I'm going to force myself to do with this therapist. I am determined to get my life back in order. I can't live like this forever.
> I think the hardest part of all this is having someone say out loud and confirm stuff we've always suspected.I totally agree!
>Like, I know I can't sing...but I LOVE to sing...but when my husband agrees I'm awful, it hurts my feelings. *sigh*
Oh who cares! I say you sing your heart out. :) Why not, I do!!!!
> I'm thinking about you today.:)
That's so sweet of you! Thanks so much for everything!
