She's unsure. I think on the one hand she thinks
that I may be "too scared to be happy" basically,
and on the other, she thinks I may feel guilty
and undeserving about wanting *more* than my boyfriend.
That's my individual therapist. The couples therapist
seems to think that I'm just panicking and being too
hard on myself, and that I need to just relax and
give it some time to sort itself out and become clear.
She's trying to get me to just stay in the present
moment and not make guesses or panic about the future.
She says "even if you're not happy right now, ask
yourself 'am I ready now, at this moment, to let it
go?', and if the answer is no, then just be in the
moment". I'm not ready to let it go, so I guess I
shouldn't worry about it. It's just hard to sit in
the anxiety, and not grasp for answers all the time.
To live in the unknown.
