I've told you about the spiral, right?
Everytime I wail about being "back here, telling stories again" I get his speech about therapy being a spiral. He says, (clearing my throat)
"therapy is a kind of spiral where we go around and around the issues and we look at them from all sides, because they look different at different times. As we circle things again and again, we get closer to the core, and we learn more and more. Spirals are always interesting to look at so I never get bored hearing the same thing again. I hear something new everytime. And depending on how the wind is blowing today, the spiral will either spin or hang still. And we can't control the wind."
I still think I should be done telling all this stuff. But that is partly a defense mechanism because it hurts so much. I just want you to know that you aren't alone in telling stuff over and over again. I think we are trying to make sense out of something senseless.
Good luck today.
