Sometimes you just have to point me in the right direction.... I missed this one..
My sessions are supposed to be 50 minutes but almost always go over by 10, sometimes 20 minutes if there's no one next. The reason they go over is because I wait until the last minute to talk aobut things, and I think he realizes that just cutting me off would cause me to not share info in the future. He's smart like that.
I know that some of the other participants have PTSD, GAD and problems from abusive parents. The group shares in that they are mostly the same age, with a couple of exceptions. So, although I don't necessarily like the fact that I'll be surrounded with people my age, perhaps I should get used to it? It's bound to happen sooner or later. But, there isn't a distinct dx that we share or certain problems. Just run-of-the-mill stuff, I guess.
I start in 2 weeks and I won't be having any other therapy. At first this thought terrified me, but now I'm confident that it's a good move. Bubba really set my mind at ease about the whole thing. And it helps to know that just in case, he'll be there. I honestly think I'm ready to be done with individual therapy. AND I didn't have nightmares last night! Yahoo!
And I still stand by my previous statement that I had the best session ever. Sorry, no changing my mind. I spent the time talking about me, not asking him questions about himself. And honestly I think I'll be quite comfortable in the group setting. I am adorable, you know.. And with my personality, how could they not love me? I do and that's a start...
Thanks for the post...
