the therapist was great! it was a wow experience this time and i'm excited to go back. i've got weekly appts for the next 3 weeks so far. i was sooooo nervous about going there... near tears while filling out the paperwork, feeling somewhat relieved to be there and scared about what i might find out. He seems to be very practical in his methods, he gave me validation that i found greatly comforting and most importantly i felt mostly comfortable being open and honest with him. i hope my first impression is right on- i feel like i'm on the right track here. i thought one thing was kinda "funny". after some Q&A he looked up from his tablet and said, "you're angry about some stuff aren't you?" that blew me out of the water!!! i started thinking about it and realized that yes i am angry about a whole bunch of stuff that i have not addressed in my life- things that happen every single day that i push aside because i feel like there is nothing i can do about it... some things i've addressed at times but, gotten no response or change so i give it the never mind. i've heard the adage that depression is anger turned inward, right now i'm believing that at least in part. i'm looking forward to working on some of those issues although i'm fearful at the same time. thanks for asking and caring!!! -twister
