In reply to My T got me figured out, I think, posted by llrrrpp on June 28, 2006, at 18:10:42
I hate it when they figure us out. :) Then it feels like we're always being tripped up (at least, that's been my experience). Anger is such a hard emotion, too. It's very scary for me to even think about being angry, and my T keeps reminding me that it's just a feeling like any other and can have healthy and unhealthy expressions. But I think that anger is so difficult because it can be so dangerous if it is expressed in an unhealthy way. At least, for me that's why. I'm so afraid of being like family members who I have seen in what my T calls 'rage', which he differentiates from just 'anger'. I tend to hold any anger inside, or I change it immediately into anger at myself, instead of anger at the appropriate situation or person.
Anyway, I know I talked about myself a lot in this post, but I guess I really wanted to just say I get it (at least a little bit). And 4 weeks is a very long time. Feel free to post if you need support. It can be very hard to go that long without seeing one's therapist. And I don't think you need to fix your boo-boos in that 4 weeks, either, or go crazy. Maybe try to find a happy medium. Do something to take care of yourself.
Take care llrrrpp.
