I was so mad I called in sick to my session today, but we did a phone session. I went over all the issues, she 'got' how I was seeing it and how I was feeling, then she did her usual magic transformation of it all. I'm too exhausted to explain it all. Some elaborate thing about my anger toward my mom, fear of losing my brother, how I'm filtering all these interactions to match my past experience, how I'm extra vulnerable right now and regressing to old beliefs, yada yada yada. Perfect alternate explanation for every piece of it, plus she coached me on how to process it with the group next week. I need to absorb a bit but I think she's right... again! It's such an ego blow.
I actually did something I'd never done.. besides the calling in sick part-- I held back and didn't tell her the extent of how upset I've been, what with deciding to chuck therapy and the group, sobbing for 2 days. I was quite a wreck.
