When I started seeing her, I told her that I'd been frustrated with my previous therapy experience. It had started feeling like a rather expensive chat over coffee. I wanted to be pushed, so I could make progress and get somewhere. She's done just that.
Today was pretty amazing. She's very good at figuring out what's going on inside my head... both the things I'm aware of and those I'm not. She gave me some stuff to work on, to help with the constant, exhausting up-down cycle of depression anxiety. It's stuff that will work. I know this because it's something I already do, when things get bad enough that I remember.
She's into non-Western ways of thinking and healing. That was a surprise. Nothing in her office or demeanor gave me clues that she might be conversant in chakras, journeying, energy transfer, or totems. We had a very interesting discussion about totems. This is wonderful news to me. I really need to get back into journeying. It's great to know that when I come to some new understanding or way of seeing through a journey, my therapist will know what I'm talking about.
I'm suddenly very tired, but in a good way. I think that more happened during that discussion than I'm aware.
