Therapy Updates
So, the therapy continues. I've been forced to make several decisions and take set courses of action on a number of different issues recently. I admit that the right decision hasn't always been clear. However, I don't think I've done too badly. I'm at least taking the time to cognitively assess these emotionally charged situations, decide what is best for my own health and the health of others, priority given to myself, then stick to my decision. I have also found the need to justify my decisions diminishing. Unfortunately, I have found that there are times where you cannot make a choice where someone won't get hurt. Ultimately, the pain up front is much easier to handle, and is much more honest than the pain that would probably have come later.
I've been dutifully reflecting the scenarios, my thoughts behind the scenarios, my decisions, reinforcements, and reviews of the scenarios to my therapist. She seems to think that I'm making great progress. It still feels unnatural to have to think about things like this... to have to quarantine emotions and sort them, but if it works... I'm all for it.
