No, he didn't say that for me personally I would be doing it to "finish" my therapy, but I believe he did say that was the goal for some of the clients there. He knows I have so much more to work on, but I honestly think he wants me there for personal reasons, as I am rather positive, ect.
And this is his first group and he's really excited about it. I'd like to share in that excitement, even if I'm there under shady circumstances. I think maybe his goal is for me to go there and then go back to individual as I'm not "cured" after group. Maybe a way to get around the "long-term" therapist switch... Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions...
I'm asking him about the plan for sure on Fat Tuesday, our next appointment. What would be appropriate to bring for such a holiday? Chocolate perhaps???
Hmmm.. my friend pointed out to me that I have a problem. I tend to look towards men to prove my self worth. Maybe my "resilience" proves that theory correct... But, still I do know he was raised Catholic (just as I assumed) so I still need to figure out what he's giving up.
I need to stop trying to please people, but if it makes me feel good in the process, is that a bad thing??
