Have you ever noticed that the hard part of doing it |
|
is the requirement that you do it on your own?
No matter how fucking much you expect support, at some point it will not be there when you need it? That the week you need to have an appointment is the week that your therapist's dog ate her homework? The week that her email system isn't working. The week that will set you back 3 weeks (one missed appointment, one week trying to remake an appointment, and another week exploring why this upset you.)?
We're expected to somewhere find GRIT, while they make a life of GRIFT.
When I was teaching 72 hour weeks were common. It's hard to find a therapist that puts in a real 40.

1. after two years of bliss with my therapist |
|
she announced she was never going to see me again due to a better job offer far away. Though I was gobstruck, it was as if I had a knowing this day would come.
I have come to the conclusion that life is a repetition of loss and separation. and you are right, in the end it is indeed all up to us to dig our way out of the darkness and find the light.
get a dog. I did. I gave her my therapist's name. we are very happy.
good luck.

2. Yeppers. And as our firend said, get a dog. |
|
I did. It solved a lot of frustration around failed expectations of reciprocity. And I'm only 1/4 kidding.
