In reply to What to show my Therapist, posted by Asya on February 22, 2004, at 22:39:00
I've shown my therapist several pictures of myself with my friends, my doggie, my boyfriend. It sometimes helps him to keep the "characters" straight, I think. I keep harping on how beautiful my sister is and he asked, "Do you have a picture?" I seemed to be offended by that saying, "Why do you want to see a picture of my sister?" I was thinking it was for personal reasons, as his comment came after I was talking about how beautiful she is. He said, "Well, you show me pictures often and it would be nice to put a face to the name." I still think he just wants to see a picture of her to compare her to me, but AHA!! An Oprah moment!! I constantly compare myself to my sisters. Hello! We are all beautiful girls. I don't know how my dad did it, but all of us 7 girls are very lovely. Good breed maybe???
Anyway, I bring pics because they are in my journal, or I jsut want him to see someone... If you want to bring pics in, feel free. A lot of us do it.
And I always have my journal with me. I've gone through about 5 of them since seeing him. He once said he'd love to snatch my journal out of my hand and read it, but of course he wouldn't. I was honored!
