Brian is freakin out

A few reasons  — 1 week ago

1) Why not?
2) So to stop using my friends for counseling
3) To analyze this issue: The only two people on earth think I’m a bad person are my ex-wife and (consequently) me. Time to get over it.

Kate walks around in my heart  — 2 weeks ago

Worth doing!

She gets stuff I don’t think I put out, but she intuits. I read to her from my morning pages at my last session and found myself in tears at what I had written.

She was so there with me….

I am so glad I chose to go to her, to not let that one not-so-great therapist keep me from continuing to try.

My first therapy session is a week from today. I’m kind of nervous. I don’t really know what to expect.

I thought I was going to have to ask my mom for a therapist, but she randomly asked me if I wanted one a few days ago. Such a weight off of my shoulders but it makes me concerned that my parents are worried about me also…

Therapy with Kate  — 4 weeks ago

Worth doing!

is going ridiculously well.

She is a great, great, great match for me.

When I got there on Tuesday for my session I said, “I am really feeling great now, is this the time to go to therapy?” and she said, “Heck, yeah.”

Now – she works for Kaiser, so it isn’t like me sitting in a chair means she gets more money. She gets the same salary whether the chair is empty or not.

She said when we were done – and I discovered a ton to work on – “your style is perfect for my style of therapy. I love to get in there and do something.” Yeah. Very well suited to me.

Well I’ve been making tons of phone calls and hitting a lot of walls with insurance and whatnot, but I’m NOT giving up.

Getting even closer to balance  — 1 month ago

I contacted a clinic last monday, and the coordinator called me back today. I am making the final calls to set up an evaluation tomorrow. I feel so excited that I’m working to get my life back! This feels awesome.

I think for the money that you just have someone listening to you talk about yourself. For the same money, you could subject a hairdresser or masseuse to you talking about yourself and get a new look or a relaxing massage in the process.
