Hey Joni!
Thanks for checking back with me. :)
Sometimes I'm not so good with words, so I'm not sure how to word this. I think I goofed in my original post. I didn't mean "interfere" in a bad way, but that's probably how it came out. I think Babble certainly contributes, encourages, and supports, a lot! I know I've been encouraged/inspired just by reading without even posting. (Basically I stopped posting, because I never felt like I fit in, but that's a whole 'nother story!) Though if I were to pick a negative aspect I found, it's that I found talking about therapy and my therapist (too much), while helpful, and "normalizing" for me, also caused me to feel sad and miss her (even more). I think it was making me... I dunno, obsess?
In any case, when I wrote my original post, I was in a real bad place, and just reaching out. I was angry at my therapist and realizing that I was comparing her mess up to the perfection that I read about other's T's. --No offense meant by that!
So to update: :)
I guess my stubborn part needed to be stubborn, angry, hurt for a few weeks. Then I saw her last Thursday and she (without realizing it, I'm sure) said something totally unrelated, but it was just so perfect that it kinda restored my faith. I realized I needed to talk about this and I was finally ready. So, we did (or started to anyway) on Tuesday and it went well. She was so gentle and understanding; as usual, but even moreso - I can't describe it. Without my ever shedding a tear, she knew just how sad I was. Everything just felt right. I'm still a little nervous, we'll see how tonight goes.Thanks for asking about me, Joni.
