Just one step at a time

Life is complicated. The only way to get through it is one step at a time

CBT

I had my first CBT session yesterday. It was with a new therapist – psychologist – who will be doing my therapy. So the main bulk of the session was going through everything.

I have 5 more sessions with her, then we’ll review how I’m getting on.

I’m not entirely convinced this will help or if I’ll ever be able to change my thought patterns, but people tell me it is possible, so I shall have to think positive.

On the plus side, I’ve had a crappy 2 days what with one thing or another and haven’t crumpled! Although I felt a bit weepy yesterday with the stressful day at work. So that’s good.

Also… I’ve realised that it’s not a case that noone ever fancies me, it’s more a case of the guys I like don’t seem to fancy  me, or the unsuitable ones do. So potentially one day I might meet a suitable guy who I fancy: and who fancies me back!

That would be nice! ;-)

  1. Well, the recent research shows that the most important factor in ‘counselling’ success is dependant on the relationship between counsellor and client – and you seem to have started off on the right footing going through what the ins and outs of being counselled with her would/will entail…

    You never know – I remember being told that ‘true love’ always happens when you ain’t looking for it no more… and so I replied that I’d heard that ssssoooo many times that the moment I thought I might not find someone I’d be looking around saying – Who could it be?!? and then I went on a dating site and met the wife… Life, Eh?

    • I think the relationship between my therapist and I is OK. It’s challenging – she often asks me why I’m thinking something. But I don’t know! I just am!

      Looking, not looking, who knows what God’s plan is?!
