i miss seeing a shrink once a week.
[i think there's a general misconception about people who seek mental help. it's not that we're crazy; we just care enough about ourselves to get professional help when life gets a little hard to manage. one of the best things i ever did for myself.]
that disclaimer aside, what i miss the most was just getting that support i wasn't getting from other people in my life. it was the simplest thing. i'd say something bad happened, and dr. leduc would frown. i'd say something good happened, and he'd smile. it was a weekly affirmation that my feelings are legitimate.
the other thing was just being able to verbalize everything i had going on. once i vocalized all my stressors, they didn't seem so overwhelming. so in the absence of dr. leduc, i turn to doctor lj.
