Essay ramblings
Yesterday was a bad essay day, didn't do much at all really, but considering I got to sleep about 6am and rose from my pit about 1.30pm, I'm not surprised or beating myself up about it.
Today I'm up earlier and have some boring chore stuff to do, so hoping this switches my brain more into the thinking and word wrangling track.
I'm also aware I'm writing less and less as I go on - the attachment section is 6k words, CBT - 2.5k!
And I seem to be copying Gemma's essay structure quite a lot - BUT I'm not caring, all that stuff if for Ivan to care about when he marks it, all that matters is I get a complete copy in with enough time to finish whatever revisions and additions Ivan sees fit to throw at me.
Today, as well as random cleaning and sorting in the flat, I will finish the last two variations - variations in time and environment - which talk about the client's journey through time (the process of therapy) and the importance of a secure frame (same place, time, session length, cost etcetc)
I will also look forward in the essay to get a sense of what needs doing next as I've never felt I have a proper grasp on the last part of this essay, maybe part of the reason why it's been so easy to avoid and procrastinate on it.
Suddenly realising I am stupid (well, okay, I've known that for years!) and I've got another day before being back at work is a VERY GOOD THING. I now feel I have enough time to do everything I want before starting the work treadmill again.
