you know what i really hate? being told to fuck off in advance. that may or may not make sense. whatever.

stella just tried to open the door to the porch by stretching up and batting at the door knob. omg, she's so smart! ::pets smart kitty::

alllllrighty then. it's get down to business day. yesterday sucked a little bit, emotionally. i would really like today to be better. and this afternoon, there is therapy. ::bites nails:: i'm kind of weirdly nervous about this. mostly about being able to express to her - Lynn is her name - why i'm there. i feel like i should write out a several page outline of my issues, so i don't forget anything. and i should prioritize them too. like, ok, yes, we can talk about my brother, but only if you make insightful comments about how that affects my everyday life anxiety. otherwise, i've been there and done that, thanks.

ok. now before i get started, i just have to adjust my lj colors to better match both the season and my new desktop.

ooh, pretty new colors!

When I think about seeing a therapist, that kind of list/synopsis of my life is one of the first things that comes to mind - it just seems so practical to give her a little cheat sheet of "okay, this is who I am and where I come from and these are the issues I think I've dealt with and these are the ones I'm coming to you with and these are maybe the other ones that influence some of that not that I'm trying to do your job for you bc of course there's likely other stuff I don't even know about, but so we don't take up several sessions just reviewing stuff I already know and can get right down to brass tacks instead. And by the fact that I wrote all this up you can already deduce that I'm an efficient control-freak, so I've helped you there too." So yes, I'm in support. *g*

And who told you to fuck off in advance?! ::looks threatening:: Bring it; I'll take 'em!

Good luck rockin' the world today, love! ::kisses::

your letter to the therapist here just fills me with delight because, yes, that's exactly what i'm talking about. i feel like i did a fairly good job of it in the first session, even though it wasn't written down. :)
