Thanks. Your more anti-therapy sentiments make me laugh right now.
My T seems to think it's possible to have boundaries that let the good feelings in, but keep the bad feelings out. I've argued with her about this-- for me I'm either open or closed. If the good stuff can get in, then so can the bad stuff. And I can tolerate some bad stuff, if it's balanced with good stuff. With MW, there's just so little good, and so much bad. I'd definitely walk away from her if it were any other type of relationship. But if I shut her out, then I don't see how I can be open in the group. It's not like babble where I can selectively read or reply. We're all trapped in there and forced to interact.
This morning I woke up thinking I'm not going back. At least not next week. This, after a night of nightmares about someone breaking into my house. Definitely not feeling safe. And I'm usually most irrationally upset at night, and most rational and calm in the morning.
It's tiring.
Aren't we brave for even opening ourselves up to this brainwashing experience? Out with the old ways, in with the new. Ain't it grand.
(rather cynical for now)
