Much to talk about in therapy

[crisispoint]

Well, after going two weeks without talking to my therapist, boy, will I have much to work over!

It hurts to think I've come so far, only to backslide like I did. The lows weren't as long-lasting, but they were very severe and brought back stuff I thought I had put away.

Still, I often wonder if I was going to my therapist, would it have been so bad this past week? Hard to say.

I'll let those who wish to know how it went. I'm dreading it, because it means revisitng the crap I've been living through and that was almost as nightmarish as when the memories first started coming back.

Peace and love,

Scot

Scot it is better to know the evil that you are coping with than some nebulous thing. Memories are painful yes. They were to me but I had to look at them, recognize I had no fault and then forgive myself. Others I had to look at and realize what others did to me and help me place the anger where it belongs and not within or against my loved ones. They are are part of me but that is my past and this is now. Keep at it.

Scot,

I think that the path we are following is not a smooth and straight one. There will be times when we 'backslide', that just means we are human, it does not make us bad. And try to think it this way: to backslide means that you have made progress. It is possible, and you are capable of progressing again. I wish you best luck.
