DAismy,
You have given me so much in terms of wise words during my bouts of unsure, stressful times lately, so I really wish I had some to throw right back at you. I only have the words I have taken from a movie/book that have gotten me some solace. Live in the moment. Whatever you are doing right now, right here, let that moment define you be you. It has helped me move past some hard times right now to get through some of this stuff I have been trying to get through. I need to process more stuff with Tdoc before i call him with it, so I have taken this. And I mean even it is just listening to your breath, or watching a bug crawl, or leaf fall, or the water drip. The book that the movie was based on took it further to help you get the trash out of your mind. So, in a sense, this is what your T, is having you do. Getting that trash from your teens out. So when you feel, the trash, the hurt, the pain, find in that moment something else, your breath, a scene in the nature around you, to live in for a few seconds or minutes whatever you can spare, to let it fill you , be you, define you for that moment. It can help. I think. It has me. Gives me a peace. And I can do it anywhere because there are moments whereever you go to live in without all the past stuff to hurt or remember. And the future is yet to come.
So if he isnt there to take the wheel, and he won't be because his job is to help you drive, he is the instructor, then you must find the way. And starting with a moment here and there is doing I think.
I hope this helps you just a little like you have helped me.
