I had the most incredible session with my new therapist today, remember I'm going to "do" EMDR? We're not actively doing it yet, and it's okay because some other stuff came up on my assessment inventory or whatever the heck they call that thing I did. Anyway we ended up talking about stuff I wanted to scream at her "Quit, I QUIT, I'm NOT doing this, it means NOTHING to me, DROP IT" because she was asking me about my life. You know, mother, father, how many siblings, brothers, sisters, ages, blah blah blah ad nauseum, who's still alive who did you know, a real snapshot of my life at 18, and it was gross, I mean, I had to NAME NAMES you know, all those details I hate giving anybody, and I was thinking, I had to fight the thoughs, actually, that this was a waste of time because I really don't want to talk about any of this stuff. And do you know what? In about 45 minutes that woman confirmed every thought, every intuition and every insight I thought I had in the last year but didn't trust myself to know. And there was stuff in the telling that didn't feel important, but WAS. Wahoo!
Sorry to ramble on.
