More CBT work with psychologist
G'Day everyone. As some of you may know, my session with my psychologist last week went so well - the light bulb moments just kept coming. And I've been on cloud nine all week.
Today he reinforced last weeks breakthroughs & then restarted again on CBT focusing on the workplace. Well I definitely have a blockage when it comes to reentering the workforce. Fear of failure. Fear that I can't do or be as good as I used to be at Admin, because my memory is still bad. Expectations and predicting the future. These are 2 things I really need to let go of.
So, my homework, is to look at my list last week re: my values and see which are my strongest 5 core values. Then look at friends & other relationships (past & present) & see how many of my 5 core values they possess/ed. 4 out of 5 core values equals a successful match.
For the nextfortnight I just need to consolidate what I have learnt re: coping techniques & incorporate them with exercise & healthy eating & drinking. Keep doing the things I enjoy doing (maybe do a bit more of them), but really focus now on getting into a better healthy routine.
I can do that!
Oh one other thing he bought up. Judgement.
Fear of going back to work & not being able to do as good as I used to. I won't know if I don't try. And it will be the boss that decides - judges (I really hate that word) whether I can do the job. If I keep getting a pay check - then the boss has decided I'm working as expected.
So. Some heavy stuff to think about, but also excited about getting out and about a bit more & putting in place a routine around sleeping, housework & exercise.
Not as excited as last week. But still happy.
