“How do you feel?”
“Sad…..hurt…..upset.”
“That’s ok. That’s good. It’s better than getting angry and reacting with your old behavior patterns.”
My therapist was right. I’ve become a different person. I didn’t tell him this during our session. I was too busy telling him why I was on the verge of asking for anti-depressants. I’m a different person in a good way. Not getting angry. Trying new things like cooking. Believing in myself. Breaking bad habits.
“The important thing to remember is to be honest about how you’re feeling. Don’t brush your feelings aside. Listen to yourself. Tell the truth to others about how you’re feeling. Be true to yourself. We have to end now, but go on home and take a bubble bath.”
Instead of driving home, I continued down Geary for Nizario’s. Slice of their combo special.
I’m feeling better already.
