I think I found a therapist

Posted by ClearSkies on January 22, 2015, at 16:20:48

It feels so much safer to know I have someone to go through this divorce with. I have a local pdoc too.

I still have my original T where I moved from. Our phone sessions have been helpful, but it's hard to go from a face to face relationship to talking on the phone.

I was expecting a difficult divorce - long and drawn out - because of the nature of (please, just let him be) my ex husband. This is his nature. It's proving to be true. No children, simple assetts - and this draws out. My move is not even complete, though that will be remedied next month. A diagonal move is daunting, but I'm looking forward to that particular journey.

Now, having 2 marriages behind me, I'm done searching for the rescue, the person who take me away from myself. I keep bringing myself along for the ride. I doubt, though, that I'm a sufficiently resilient person to do This living thing alone. Years of therapy and I am still myself, funny that.

Not only can you not change other people, just how far back a reach into our own lives is a change in beliefs and self image able to be remolded? I must be past my sell-by date. This person I am, I think it's broken too much.

When I started therapy 10 years ago, I was very broken. I feel sometimes like I am much more whole. But sometimes like I am still broken and always will be.
OTOH, I left my husband of 36 years last summer and have been okay. I didn't think I would be, but I've managed. Therapy has helped. For me, having a good therapist is a great help.
I hope you find someone.

This one feels like a good fit. She's certified in EMDR, and we are starting work on some core issues. It makes a difference to feel like I am working on some aspect of my health issues.
