Good morning.
I found a new therapist on my Insurance and it took her two days to run Insurance and then after two days she told me no she can't see me
I have come to a statement that maybe I should stay with current therapist. This therapist is trying so hard to work with me. Minis feeling bad that she is trying to do and be better she is trying. I keep saying maybe that's why each time I try to drop her it doesn't work out.
For some reason my last email to her and you guys were aware of she has changed a lot. She even email something to read and I was shock. Plus during last week session she started to teach me things . I was double shock. I am smiling but impressed that she is trying to do and be better. It reminds me of my last therapist that told me that when she used to go away she was not on vacation but was talking training to become a better therapist for me.
My current therapist told me last year she will not be going on a vacation soon and now she tells me she is in a few weeks. Part of me makes me wonder if she is doing the same as my former therapist. I don't know but I just wonder. My current therapist is always starting over with me but she said its all good. Sadly people would tell them I teaches them things because even though I am good somehow what ever I do makes that want to do better.
E.g I think I drive my main case manager crazy BUT she said no I don't I just make her be better. Lol I laugh and told her sorry because I am an handful and she said no but a good handful. To be honest I am me all 1000% me. Cannot be any less

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
Yet my therapaist recommend an rhematologist and he had no clue. He gave me a diagnosed and after he stop talking long enough to hear me he than said that he does not know what the words on the blood test means.
My therapist sometimes try to act like a doctor and I cannot tell my medical case manager because my therapist will get in trouble. None of my doctors care much about what my therapist is saying including my psy doctor BUT my therapist verbalized that she disagrees. Apart from that she is nice in away.
I wish life was easier and better BUT I am been patient. Just people are so werid.
But every step is a guess. Where's my owner's manual?
In my own practice of using foreign language as a therapy tool, the new language helps me forge new neural pathways and let go of old resentments. In my own case, that made room for new insights far more than providing the insights.
Butttttaaaa. . . 100% of my own trauma happened in the English speaking world. Didn't the meanest of your own trauma happen in Uruguayan Spanish? Just wondering. . . I'm not even certain that matters. I've known more than one native Spanish speaker who will tell me that Uruguay and Mexico speak different languages.
