Last week's easy first session was followed with a very difficult one. After finding a lot of countertransference (my first big countertransferrential reaction in the field!) when writing up my process notes later on that evening and then speaking with my individual supervisor yesterday about tightening up my therapeutic frame, I feel better. The more I survive these "failures", the more confident I become AND the better I'll be at seeing what's going on as it happens. Still, I can honestly say that this new part of my journey has now become bumpy.
Speaking of journeying, I was working on a short response paper while lying in bed last night and wound up toying with the phrase "there are many paths to god" and adding witty endings:
There are many paths to god, ...
... but the devil has a monopoly on sign-posts.
... but most are guarded by rabid timber wolves.
... but my favorite ones have sin-themed rest stops.
... so if you don't like the one you are on, just push this button and our HolyGPS&trade unit will find you a new one in seconds!
As always, feel free to suggest new ones.
