What do you mean, take it one step at a time??? Who do you think you're writing to, hm? Remember, my patience was surgically removed at birth -- I can't take it any less than six steps at a time and I gotta take them fast!
Yeah, I know, I'm overanalyzing, and I'm so freaked out that I'm overreacting to everything she says. Mostly, though, I'm beating on myself for not being upbeat about getting a new therapist assigned, and for not feeling automatic hope that this will work better, etc. I guess I'm beating myself up because I'm letting my experiences to date color my expectations of the future. Does that make sense?
How does this sound to you? I'm going to accept that I'm worried, and try not to blame myself for being worried. I'm going to try to leave it at the acceptance of the worry, and not 'explain' the worry to myself anymore. I *think* that would be helpful to me right now. Does it sound right to you?
And again, noa, thank you.
