2nd Visit

Yesterday was my second visit to the psychologist . I went the first time and was a little taken back by him noticing that I had a slight speech impediment. (Which i do have) He sent me home with a cd and an appointment for a follow up in two weeks. I canceled the appointment, and later decided to reschedule. This session went better. It's all information gathering now. He is trying to figure me out. I think I could do myself but I am too deep in the woods and cannot see over the tree tops. i am 5 1/2 years post and still have not accepted me. The new me. I think the therapy with the relaxation techniques will help me manage some of my anxiety. And what will be tough is letting go of the old me and my expectations. I set the bar pretty high for myself and I know I am going to have to lower it . The scary part is this guy is starting to make a little sense now.

I set the bar high too. Sometimes unrealistically high and by doing so I set myself up for failure. Which lead to self-condemnation and self-disgust. Be real about it. My money's on you!

I had a session with a grief counsellor yesterday, same reason, couldn't see over the trees. I just need to get somewhere where I can see what I want in the immediate future and set some realistic goals and accept the single life. Good luck with your goal setting.
