The great work begins
by tamarjacobson
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 …

Sounds like you found a good one. Bon voyage on this new journey into your own head and heart.
Tamar, I’m so glad you found someone new that you like. After stopping completely last year I also started again (with someone new) during my recent ordeal and I can so relate to your five bullet points.
