Angela (my T) said to let them play out, that Rick (sign. other) needs to either leave the apartment or go in another room and shut the door because any effort to control me during it makes me worse
She thinks it's build up of all the stressors; caretaking for Mom who survived a brain tumor & is demanding and rude, the death of 2 close friends, Rick having cancer all the hassles of income and medical bills, missing my grandson who lived with me for the first 3 yrs of his life, being poor, and the change in medications. She thinks I need to get out since I am not harming anyone to let it play out, to release it. Angela says she trusts me to not to harm myself.
I do like the woman, she has a unique way of looking at things. She's fairly new as my therapist that is. In one beginning sessions after told for first time about all the above stressors, she said fuck Lynn you don't deserve that....floored me, but made me smile I could tell it was heart felt.lynn
What difference do it make if the thing you scared of is real or not?
