In reply to I am being unbelievably silly, posted by Dinah on August 13, 2004, at 13:53:06
Dinah, you made me laugh! What indeed is the big deal about being grown up?
I am tired and just can't read through the long trail of responses you have here, so forgive me if I repeat what someone else has said already.
You kow you're projecting your feelings about yourself onto him, right? And you know that you feel you are being silly, right? So you think that you can't not be silly except by not going to therapy, right? That's why you want to cancel.
Sooooo, the solution is to go and - get this - talk about it!
Aha, right?
The great thing about a good therpist is, unless I am much mistaken, s/he knows it is all about you. I am sometimes ashamed of how hard I have been on mine, and it made me cry a few months ago when he said something about how normal, and acceptable how I acted was. I felt ... forgiven, though I guess there was nothing to forgive. It brings tears to my eyes just to write about it here.
Therapy is very interesting.
