have completed 3 sessions with the fancy new therapist, but every two weeks doesn’t seem like enough so i’m going to try weekly for the next month. there’s so much i want to work on! the price is pretty intense but it feels like what i need to invest in most right now, so i’ll make it happen—even if it means i need to start a new alt for feet pics or something 😈 all the work has me feeling pretty lost and liminal, but it’s not a bad place to be. i just want to make sure i maximize the opportunity and not just revert to old patterns and habits, so erring to the side of doing less and being more and seeing what the true priorities are. i expect more clarity and momentum soon

I’ve found this reflection helpful when challenging, triggering emotions/reactions arise: This feeling is a visitor, not a verdict.

Most of us are 8 year olds walking around in adult bodies. Being emotionally mature is a skill we have to want to learn and that we have to practice. To recognize our emotions and actually feel them, process them in a calm manner without blaming the external. Frustration actually comes from putting the power to regulate outside of ourselves.

i completed my second session with the fancy new therapist recently we did parts work with tapping, speaking to different ages of myself, starting with prenate. working with my infant self absolutely broke me for some reason despite having no memories or stories from this time, i tapped into a great well of pain that originated there it was sad and it was a lot, but we made tons of progress. it feels like a layer of my psyche that has been hypervigilant my whole life has finally relaxed into a feeling of safety my anxiety levels are noticeably down and i have more energy for other things. it feels like there are still layers and facets to attend to, but i’m excited to keep moving forward with this

Practicing being radically aware of who is in the driver’s seat of your life at every moment vs slipping into unconscious autopilot is one of the most important exercises you’ll do for yourself and others

first introductory session with the new therapist is complete! she essentially made a map of my family tree and added notes about some of the experiences and dynamics involved it seemed like she had a lot of wtf moments, and was impressed that i’m even functioning in society after all that me too, tbh. i’m excited to get deeper into it next week!
