Sharing the good news

I had a really good appointment with my therapist yesterday. I guess I was ready to receive her messages. She's a wonderful teacher and I was reminded of her role noticing by how she responded to me back and forth during our session...always reframing things for me to look at my experience and life in different ways. Positive or negative. I'd call it almost a 'life doula'. Being witness and caretaking alongside her patients as they live this dream journey called life. I woke up this morning feeling hesitant and fragile but I was reminded of her lessons and that helped me to be self responsible and keep on keeping on. I hope you guys are doing well. Sending out three cheers for us!



Happy Saturday!!

I guess I am finding balance between the recognition of the job I have of taking care of myself and being self responsible and also the joy of having friends who are good for me and like me. I realize I’ve been kind of living on an extreme pendulum of either total emotional indulgence and need and then life status and enjoyment things. It’s a balance between both measured in a way that is right for me so I in turn keep on keeping on. Taking care and living life. Interdependent.

Big hug sweetie

I'm so glad that you had such a great appt with your therapist
She sounds like a perfect match for you

I would really think about discussing being sent away to other monestary's Mark

You don't do well when this happens
I think it's too hard on you and forces you to get used to a completely new environment

You've seemed so much better since getting back home....xo

A psychiatrist I had years ago, told me you have to "click" with your therapist in order for it to work and it sounds like yours works for you so yes keep on keeping on.
