Tales From the Couch: Part 2

Greetings and salutations!

I had another good session today. It’s amazing how a different perspective can provide so much clarity and insight into what’s going wrong and what’s going right.

I post these so that what I learn is fresh in my mind and I can refer back to them.

So with that being the case, here goes!

Today I learned that I’m still in pain and still feeling very lonely–and that’s ok given all that’s happened. I learned that there’s nothing wrong with emotional support, and that there’s a possibility that I’m not getting enough opportunity to talk things through and to vent about it.

I’m learning that it’s ok to be emotional and to want to express my feelings more often than I’m doing now, and that talking about it is better than suffering in silence and keeping stuff in.

I learned that going to the gym and swimming is VERY important to me, more important than I realized, and that I have to recognize the impediments preventing me from doing the very best I can to attend.

I realized that I AM a very creative person, and that creativity shouldn’t be stifled.

I’m realizing that I have a LOT of work to go through before this can be resolved.

I have confirmation that music is a vital part of my life, and that anyone who wants to understand me needs to understand that fact, and also my musical choices. It’s is integral to my identity and who I am.

It’s ok to cry and not feel strong.

Short entry today…not the greatest week, and hopefully things will be better.
