Therapy this morning. We are on a "when you need it" basis now... and Friday I texted and said "got any time next week?" and she is always accommodating.
What's funny is, after a few weeks of "me, me, me, me" where I feel like all I'm doing is trying to make everyone else feel better by talking about myself -- which should not make sense, by the way... it's very nice to just be able to reset a bit -- even if it does involve, you know, talking about ME some more.
I can do this with my wife, but she needs a break as much as I do.
We took this weekend off, and now this week is shaping up to be a big one, with "hair day" at the end of it which is another jump off another cliff, so it's always nice to have a place to go to get your feet squarely back on the ground first.
And I know there are people who want "answers" from a therapist. I get that. I absolutely feel my therapist gives me real, actionable, common sense advice. But mostly a good therapist is a sounding board. All those things you normally are bouncing off yourself in your head you can see how they land to someone with experience in this area... allowing you to gauge that reaction and course correct if need be.
So yes, big fan of the process of therapy.
Love,
Allie
