Default resistance

Thanks, Waves,

Thanks for walking through those questions with me.

Probably I am resisting for no good reason.
I am supposed to write down the answers and bring them in with me and talk to her. I could probably justify an answer and she would be ok.

We only had about 5 minutes in our meeting last time (total now of 35 minutes since I started therapy). She has used the word "processing," as in this work is to get you to "process."


I'm supposed to practice the stupid word list a couple of times a day.
I am supposed to pronounce the words slowly and then again quickly.
I'm not sure if I put it in a place that I can find it again.
I have not looked at the folder she gave me. I'm not sure where it is.

Hi,

For a long time (a year?) I had been feeling so down that I thought I was dying.
I barely felt any life force and was very much afraid.
It was like brain fog only worse -- a tremendous heavy curtain.
. . . . And totally overwhelmed, unable to do anything much . . unable to think enough to hang up a shirt . . . .unable to return a phone call, . . .
. . . faking my way at work . . . trying to say the right things . . . not caring much if someone noticed much one way or the other. . .


Since I posted on Sunday, the curtain has lifted.
I have more energy.
I feel like I am alive.

I still have the other stuff, but the curtain has lifted.

M.

Heart wow Mari

you haven't seemed that way... not for a year... just goes to show how easy it is to "seem" more ok than we are....

i'm really glad you are feeling so much better now.

this has been a terribly upsetting year for you.
I am so glad that you feel some relief.
You deserve some peace and happiness and some steadyness.
I know that when you are more unpacked and settled in you will start to feel more like at home, nesting, setting roots, that this place is truly yours to do with what you wish.
(((((HUGS))))
Do you think it is the gluten free diet?
could be!!!!!
