Dear Daisy, Thanks as always. You are just brilliant and so kind. The meds have helped a lot, although I really hate taking them. I'm not sure if it's really me that's feeling a bit better if you know what I mean. If it is me it's more the adult than the child - and I was never sure there really was an adult....
Your idea of mentoring is good and I know my T is willing to put something in place for me if only by letter. I am so glad that you will be having phone sessions with your T when you're away. That'll feel much better.
I too love Yalom and find it a great comfort to read about other people's experiences in therapy - he also has a great sense of humour. But I'd never heard of the "Travelling With My Couch" one. I shall get it. Thank you. It will be something to look forward to.
I am still training to be a T (2nd year of 4 - not ready for clients yet) but finding it hard as my emotions are already all over the place and the sessions churn them up even more. We have quite a lot of work outside college, which i have so far kept up to date although I haven't done enough background reading and find it hard to concentrate. I also belong to a Reading Group that meets once a month.
Thank you for being there Daisy. It means so much. R
