Hi Karen! Nice to see you again. Still breaking the rules with Bubba, hmmm? Oh well, if he knows you well enough to set out the juice because you're going to bring the muffins anyway...
It sounded like a very bittersweet appointment. You were able to be so honest that it was fearful but you learned something in that sincerity. You really talked about a lot of topics-how long are your sessions usually?
So you're starting in group therapy? What kinds of diagnoses do the other participants have? Or rather, what is the focus and goals of the group? I've been in a lot of different groups, the most recent one was probably the worst for me, because of the mix of depression, anxiety and then people with personality disoders. I didn't find it that helpful for me, although it definitley had positive points. I am confident you will improve socially and be able to learn something from the emotional attachments you form, that is something I definitley took with me. I'll be looking forward to hearing how it goes in group. When do you begin? Will that be your primary therapy then without any talk therapy?
Oh, I saw by the way you want to compete with sessions here...I have to say, I have some cold, hard competitive material here, Karen...(heehee)But I think its wonderful that you felt the way you did coming out. What you expressed here echoes of freedom and that to me is what getting better is all about. I'm glad you're looking forward to going to group and have a positive attitude about it. I think that it is going to be interesting to hear about your experiences with it. Anyone else here going to group actively?
