I seen my psychologist this morning. Does anyone else just hang out for their appointments with their supports? I do. I know I say it a lot, but I really do feel seen, heard and validated in my sessions.
Today wasn’t too bad. We had a couple of difficult conversations around SI and my safety. And I shared my adult healthy self response to my inner child’s letter- she said I did a real good job. It was certainly much harder to read it aloud and hear them words though.
Then I talked about my anniversary from yesterday. I realised that I always focus on the bad stuff. All the terrible things that have happened over the years… cause yes they were really traumatic and there has been alot of them. But my psychologist helped me to remember that there have been good things too. It then reminded me of the name of my thread, my mosaic. And how our lives are made up of so many tiny little pieces, some ugly and black, others bright colours and nice and sparkly. And that if we only ever focus up close on each piece, that’s all we see. But if we take a step back we will see the full picture. Yes, each pieces matters, if it was missing there would be gaps in the masterpiece.
So, I’m wondering if you my friends would be willing to share some things that have happened in your life that have been good? @NatureLover @Snowie @Paperdaisy @hanami @Eve7 @Emelia8 @tyme and anyone else. My psychologist has challenged me to do this. To write about them. And to include them in my next book cause they are important pieces in my life.
Today I shared with my psychologist the overseas trips that I have taken. Spending a summer at camp in America and then having a white Christmas in Canada- that was magical! My 2 missions trips to India and the Philippines, in the Philippines I got to met my compassion child, that was really special! We had compassion Sunday this past Sunday at church, I thought about my compassion child a lot.
