> I know you will learn a lot by reading the threads. I have. It will give you a head start on your work with your therapist. Nothing comes easy in this work.
> My Therapist doesn't allow e-mail. Not her thing yet I suppose. I have spent a lot of time writing in a journal though. And I've taken it to my sessions many times and read it to her. It has worked great for me. And I love looking back to see the growth.

>Thanks ladybug. thats another thing I'm learning. Is to let people be nice to me and accept it as my due, not shut it out. I am keeping a journal and on a couple of sessions when i couldn't talk, let her read some of it. She could read all of it if she wanted. She's never asked so I guesss she wouldn't want to. Its crazy (HA!) to be going to a T. and being so hard to talk. Its expensive too. But I can get past spending all that money on myself by saying it will make me a better mom to my kids and then I can raise them up to be the best that they can be.
There's been times when I wished i could phone her, and I have left a message or two, and she did phone back, but then I couldn't really say much. I don't know the protcol here. I suppose I should ask but I feel silly and embarrased to say anything. Lordy, no wonder I'm a nut!!!!!!!
