So, I just got off the phone with Vera, my therapist. It’s odd being in therapy over the
phone. Or maybe it’s odd being in
therapy still. I’ve been in and out of
it for so much of my life I’m not sure I can imagine my life without being in
it. Perhaps it’s something that is
healthy and something I need to keep doing but I wonder why. What is the purpose for it? I think I have a fairly good grasp on who I
am, what I do and don’t believe. True, I’m
wishy washy in plenty of ways but there is still me at the core. For the most part I think I know myself.
Perhaps it’s because of my schooling that I feel I know
myself better. Having to reflect upon
one’s life for various reasons is something that forces you to come to reality
or terms with certain things. It’s like
looking in the mirror for the first time and really, truly seeing
yourself. For exactly what you are. What’s frightening is the fact that I can
look at myself in the mirror and do know who I am…what I am..and it doesn’t
terrify me. Perhaps that alone shows I
need therapy. *laughs* Knowing my demons, what I’m capable of and
yet still being able to look at myself and not run away screaming in terror has
to be a feat for anyone. At least anyone
with my mentality.
I find it funny though, thinking about being in
therapy. I mean, now and days it seems
like everyone is in some kind of therapy.
We all need an outlet for release of stress or thoughts or
whatever. An outlet that isn’t going to
judge us and whose sole purpose is to be there to help guide us healthily. Perhaps even when I’m a therapist myself I’m
still going to need therapy *laughs*
What’s that saying? The most
twisted people in the world are therapists because they go into therapy hoping
to get a better understand on themselves.
If that’s the case I should be one kick ass therapist once I’m done with
all this. *laughs* Heaven knows, regardless of how much sole
searching I do or studying and learning or therapy I’m always going to be this
twisted person without a clue on why I am the way I am typically. I mean I might have ideas but I’ll always be
searching for answers for my own behaviors.
*smirks*
Ah well, therapy….*makes a face* Don’t wanna do it but I guess it’s one of
those necessary evils for me that I have to do.
Besides, it’s healthy….right?
