Dr BobFirst, let me thank you for not blocking me again when I was definitely being uncivil towards you. I'm very happy that you took my apology into account. :) I couldn't go through that again, especially since I've only been back about 3 days from that other block.
Step 2? My therapist would then discuss what I had written down and try to get to the root of what was making me so angry. Anger is really not anger at all but a substitute for feeling hurt and I've definitely felt extremely hurt here in the last couple of weeks. I really don't think any of us really want to go into detail of why I was hurt and angry.
No, I'm not mad at my therapist for being absent for 6 weeks straight, although she just had 2 weeks off at Christmas too. What am I supposed to do to cope while she is not there for me? Leave me to my own devices? We have already seen where that gets me. It wasn't pretty, was it Dr. Bob? ;) I guess you'll be glad when my therapist comes back in another 3 weeks eh? :)
Again, thank you for not blocking me again. :)
AG (who is breathing a HUGE sigh of relief)
