Is there anything really good going on in anyone's therapy? It's ok if you don't want to post it, sometimes I don't want to post good things because it dilutes them in my mind. I could just use some good therapist stories to tide me over while my T is gone. So if you have any, I'd love to hear them...
And I'm sorry for everyone who's having problems right now. I don't want to offend anyone by posting this.

Things are going pretty well. I wish I had something specific I remember...
I think I've posted lots of good things recently though.

I'm doing OK in therapy... end of last session I played a song on my laptop, which was hard. I hid my face. But it was a good, safe-feeling situation. Nothing too deep going on, I think, but I've never had a real therapy horror story!

I posted about a week or two ago. If you want to read it, the topic is "I did it...sort of". I'll warn you in advance though, it's pretty long.
I hope you feel better.

My T called me today.
Even though I'm having a very hard time here lately, she feels very safe to me and I'm really starting to trust her a lot. She calls just to check in and I can tell she really does care. She said today that she really feels for me. It's really nice. It's also a big step for me considering some of my other therapy experiences in the past year.
I'm going to see her tomorrow and I think it'll be good.

***** I kind of know the feeling. The first time I read a poem in therapy I could barely speak loud enough so he could hear. And the first time I told him I liked him I flinched and tried to cover my head. So I understand that feeling. I think it comes when we're being vulnerable. And it's so good when it turns out it was safe to be vulnerable.

That's great wishingstar! It's so nice to feel like our T's understand, that we're connected, that they 'get' us. I hope that you have a really good session tomorrow and are able to come away feeling a little bit of comfort. And by the way, congratulations on the job! I'm not sure I said that in any of the other threads. It's so brave of you, and so good, to be doing something big like this when you're feeling so poorly.

Hi Sunnydays,
T thinks I'm doing good with negative thought reframing. Though in the last session I called myself a failure twice, but I caught it, so I guess that counts as a postive.
