One thing pulling me through today is that I am seeing my therapist, Nancy, tonight. I have journaled, meditated, napped and napped to clear through my funky mood today, but there is something powerful knowing that there is someone who's job is to listen to me and like me, no matter how weird I feel. Nancy has helped in so many areas of my life. Often times when I go into session, my thoughts are murky--like muddy water. As I start talking, and she points things out to me, it's as if the water becomes more clear. Things make more sense, I don't feel crazy and I learn about myself. I actually learn to like myself, which is something that doesn't always come easily for me. I often wonder what my life would be like without counseling. Like in the movie "It's a Wondeful Life." What would be different, what would be the same?
It makes me pause to think, why is therapy taboo? It would be cool if therapy was regarded like physical health. What would it be like if everyone had a general physician and a therapist? One for health of body, one for health of mind and spirit? When I'm President or Queen of America (which ever comes first) that may be my first order of business. Ha :)

Agreed! Otherwise, I'd be out of a job. :)
Hope you had a great meeting with your therapist.
Hope you have a good session.
I love my sessions with Andrew, I feel like a new me leaving therapy.
I wish therapy wasn't so taboo too, it has been so amazing for D and I as a couple and individually. It's time for the secret to catch on...therapy is not for when you have problems its to prevent the problems!!!
You are the type of person therapists love to work with who make our life work worthwhile. I can assure you that your therapist considers working with you a privilege. May everyone have the courage to grow and become their most Christ-like selves.
