How goes it? I know your name is seldom seen, but it would be nice to change your name to often seen, that would be nice.

I got my piggies and would love to talk to you about them, got a cockatiel too. I am in love, completely. Anyway, please come to chat soon! How is therapy going 2x a week?

Thanks for thinking about me. Things are pretty intense right now in therapy. Frankly, I'm beginning to freak out a little bit over it, but overall I guess I'm okay.

I knew I'd have to reconnect with my T and it's harder than I thought. It seems as though trusting him is coming very hard for me, even though it's been 8 years.

I've been smoking too much, not sleeping enough and totally slacking off at work. All my energy seems to be wrapped up in emotional work. I've been here before.

I also just don't think he is "getting it" very much at all. We talked about it some last session. I was angry and he was defensive, but I think I made my points clear. We talked about it the next day some on the phone. I'm glad I don't see him again until Monday. I need a break.

I'd love to hear about your pigs. Mine and I shared a salad for dinner this evening and both very much enjoyed it. Seriously, I made a big bowl for me and little bowl for him. Night before last he pulled a green bean out of my hand. Too funny.

I love to hear him munching in his little igloo.

I just love guinea pigs. They are small, but big enough to have a lot of personality.

Seldom.

Hi Seldom,

I am not sure I am following, why is your T defensive? But I get the trust thing, it is almost like starting all over again especially with the new topic at hand. I think this is one of the hardest issues ever, and it has to be so painful for you.

I know sometime I wish I could be in denial instead of knowing the truth.

I am in love with my piggys too. They also love fresh green beans! Also grapes, but I was told not to give them to them too often. Cucumber seems to be a favorite and dandelion greens (which I have a ton of right now).

My cockatiel loves corn on the cob, it is so funny to watch her eat it. Today when I wasn't home she flew off my daughter's shoulder and landed in dishwater. My daughter tried to get all the nasty stuff out of her feathers, she is white so you see everything. But she was cold and shivering, so I took her and held her in a towel covering her to warm her up. Then I took a hair dryer and she climbed up on the chair and I blew it on her from a distance. But she loved it, she even fell asleep with the warm air. I just love my new furry feathered friends.
Last night Cookie, my daughter piggy say me when I came into the room and started to whee and he wanted me to pick him up. It was so funny.

We were having a disagreement over his interpretation of things and this habit he had fallen into. I way overreacted and got mad. He, naturally got defensive.

We talked about it the next day and came to an agreement. I saw him today and things were better.

We also talked about how Seldom the competent scientist had been doing most of the talking in therapy lately and maybe the scared to death 5 year old needed to do some of the talking.

Whenever I go into therapy now I am going to try my best to go in with an open heart. I am going to try to let him touch me (figuratively) again.

I prayed today before therapy that God would let me feel comfort and safety with another human being. I will pray that prayer a lot from now on.

Seldom.
