I deifnitely agree with you about the need of some therapists/drs to feel smart and make things overly complicated in an effort to do so. I believe that therapy itself can be a setup for this... one person (the therapist) being the guide, "all knowing" (supposedly) helper, and the other (the client) being the seeker of that help and knowledge. A strange relationship really.
I dont know that she was trying to reprimand me about the necklace really.. she seemed genuinely interested. There was a general feeling of "was that a good idea?" though. I think there are many reasons why I took it. For one, I didnt want him to feel rejected. The biggest reason though is probably that I was trying to hold on to any hope of our relationship continuing and deny that it was really over. To hand it back to him would have been a strong statement of "it's over" that I wasnt really ready/able to make. The rush of emotion during that afternoon while we were together was very intense and I'm sure I wasnt thinking straight. I may gave it back later.
I think I've accepted that it truly is over much more now than I had that day. I feel I've come a long ways in a few days. The anger has stated to replace the hurt and I find anger towards him much easier to deal with.
Thank you Scott. Your posts have been really helpful.
