The great work begins

Ah, now I remember. All the different feelings associated with therapy: 

  • Anxiety as I pull up in my car, thinking about what I want to talk about
  • Amazement at discovering hidden pieces of my Self as the session unfolds
  • Bewildered and confused about how, in the end, what we talked about had very little to do with what I originally thought I would talk about
  • Stunned and emotionally moved, thinking, processing, mind swirling and whirling with ideas, and beginnings of new understandings, as I drive slowly back into my day
  • Energized but exhausted

The great work begins … again …
