I hate how LJ has shifted to fit social media. I'm aware it's always been social media, but I really don't care about some random person's party habits.
I started my first group therapy last Thursday. It was Expressive something. There were three other people there, and two of the people there have been there for a long time. I was told some people draw stuff on sketch books, and some people draw it digitally and share their screens, which is nice. I can't draw for shit, so when we were told the theme of the week is masks, I wrote a poem.
Everyone was so engaged and thoughtful about my seven line poem, telling me it really affected them. They said they looked forward to hearing my poems again, and now I'm like, "oh shit, I'm the official poem person."
It was a nice experience, and I look forward to attending more, along with the other DBT group I have been working up my courage and attitude about going. I was told I no longer show symptoms of PTSD, so I have officially started trauma therapy, however, it's biweekly instead of weekly so the group sessions will be nice.
