In reply to Pdoc1 and I talked about Dr. Bob, posted by Deneb on February 20, 2006, at 11:03:03
I am just thrilled with my life. I am alive again. I am meeting people, talking to people, and all of this from somebody who is sort of shy.
I am at the gym almost everyday, and I almost always talking to someone about something. I am talking to other runners to get advice on what they do. I am getting positive feedback. People seem to like to approach me to talk and vice versa.
It used to be I went to just lose weight, then when I saw my T , he was a good reason to go, now I am going to talk to people and have a good time. Me social? Who knew?
Then tonight, I have band rehearsal and tomorrow. More people. I am even sort of a mentor to some of the young students.
I still want to have a close friend, but I guess that will come.Getting rid of the pain in your heart of your past, leaves more room for joy.
I know that I am the one who changes my life and made it more rich, but without therapy I would hate to see where I would be now. I am very glad I reached out for help, and happy I luckly found a great experienced T who could really help.
In my yoga book, it said something like when a student is ready to learn, a teacher will appear. Well I guess I was ready to "learn" because my T appeared and WE have done this together as a team.
I may joke all the time on how sexy he is and how I want to "bop" him and stuff like that, but I really do like him and have a lot of gratitude and respect for what he does.
I am smiling today, I saw my T today at the gym, he saw me smiling (and not at him), but he saw my smile, and he had to know he is responsible for a part of that. ;-).I am really going to smile at him, when I learn how to run and then I am going to run right past his butt, and laugh! LOL
My T said a very kind thing to me last week. I was talking about how my new trumpet "sings", and he said "just like you. " :-) That still makes me smile. What a sweetie!
I am even thinking of taking swimming lesson. Yes, I don't know how to swim. I almost drowned when I was a toddler, and since then I have been too scared. But now I want to tackle that fear.
Do you think I should ask my T (who was a very good competitive swimmer in HS) to help me at the gym. Ummmmmm. Maybe not! LOL
Have a great day everyone and remember therapy can do wonders.

Happyflower,
That was so beautiful, what an amazingly positive post. You sound like you have come SO FAR, well done.I'm glad you give your T AND YOU the credit for how much you have changed because you must have worked very hard. He must be very proud of you.
I was scared to reply to your post about 'not letting him go' because I know exactly where you are coming from(I don't want to let go either but fear if I don't face it it will 'all end in tears' as they say and I just would hate you to be hurt like I can foresee for me if I don't face it) but today you sound as if you know he won't be your 'close friend' but that he has enabled you to be the person you are and to be the person who is ready to find that close friend.
He will however always be your special T who has helped you soar.
I'm sure your close friend will be a very special person , just like youmilly
