Tonight in my individual session we talked about my little crush on a group member, and how some of my patterns are playing out with that. I do a whole bunch of predictable stuff when I get a crush, like I get hyper-sensitive to hurt, and get bigger expectations for that person's attention, and start filtering and thinking that person is like someone who hurt me in the past, and finally I start getting critical of the person as a way to keep my feelings in check. Naturally, she wants me to bring all this up in the group session. Doesn't that just sound unpleasant to talk about? She was all happy and smiling about it, because it's such wonderful group therapy material to her. Great.
Actually I'm surprised it took this long for my 'crush' issues to come up. I'm pretty prone to crushes.
Thank goodness I have nearly a week before the next group session. Maybe I can digest the idea. And yes, I'll bring it up. I can't resist a challenge like this.
