Hey, I’m open to all directions… And it’s always good to hear something I might not have expected to hear…

> I think it's best to think about the sad (and bad) stuff with a skilled professional. That gives the pain a purpose. Now, even though I'm in therapy, trust me, I still feel sad or think about sad or painful things all the time. But it's helpful for me to know that I can unload my mind and sort it out with my T.

Yes. You’re absolutely right. The thing that I was thinking about is precisely the sort of thing I should talk about in therapy. I wish I’d remembered it when I was still doing therapy. And I’m still working very slowly in the direction of perhaps going back to therapy. I’m no longer ruling it out completely! I think it will take some time to get there…

> My T would say that hard as we try to avoid thinking about our issues, they come up again and again, just in different disguises. I love those moments when she points out my emotional displacement of a situation, an AAAHHHH moment.

Absolutely! It’s great to have a good T who can lead you to these insights!

> I don't think it's pointless, especially because you have the ability to make connections, not everyone can do that. You're very insightful.

Thanks. So are you!

> Sorry you're thinking about stuff that feels sad.

Thanks Annierose.
