I like Daisy's expression, whammied. I've had some appointments where, walking out, I just feel like its too much to bear, I want to walk out in traffic, it seems like I can't bear another second. Other times I've been in a depression for days afterward. One of the great things my T said to me once is, "When therapy works, sometimes it can hurt a lot." That in these terrible sessions, is when the real work is being done. I know how absolutely real and terrorizing the emotions can be, but it makes me feel better to realize that it is a sign of going in the right direction. I hope I don't sound cold, because I don't mean it in a way that dismisses your experience. It is a nightmare, nothing can change that, but I just want you to be able to flip it over into a more positive outcome as well. Grieving is hard work, therapy is hard work, and I try to give myself as many rewards as I can for my dedication. I hope you will too. I'll be thinking of you today....Keep us posted how you are doing!
