back in therapy

[chaostiny.livejournal.com]

For the first time in a year and half, I called my therapist, made an appointment and went in.  I guess the break enabled me to really figure out what was broken in my life after 10 years of fixing things.  I'm frustrated that stuff is still messed up but at least I can see that it is a much smaller pile than it was even a few years ago.  Also, one of the smaller members of our group was very excited to see Howard (the therapist) as he gives the greatest safe hugs and is always happy to see her and talk to her and *listen* to her...    So... this is a good thing and in all actuality, for the first time, I am ready to just get down to business without having to fart around for 20 minutes first... so I get much more out of each session!
Also, I am going in tomorrow, Saturday and Monday, to work as a trial run, in a vet clinic to see if they want to hire and train me as a vet tech.... I made it passed the first part...which is actually getting the trial...  I haven't held a job for more than three months and the last job I had was in 2000!  But, i am finally stable, capable of thinking and remembering and I know it is time for me to get off SSI and do my part.... I also know I am really going to need my therapist if I am going to pull this off!

I did it about god how long I have been off for over 10 years I too went back to therapy two years ago after being gone 7 years. I have been with my theripst 17 years on and off. My therapist does not believe in intergration and she has been working with multiples for 20 years she says it never stays the more I research I agree We always said we would not intergrate we wanted to know who they would kill first? I work on an ambulance and have been an EMT-Intermediate for 7years and an Emt-Basic my first 3 years. Just because we are many does not mean we cannot succed in life we have more pulling for us. i am really tired it was a tough session to day 4 hours with my therapist intern my therapist is in the hospital they don't know if she will be coming back we are kid=nda scared. Next week we go for our testing for allergens in Minnepolis that is about 2.5 hours away. We have to go M W F that will suck Good luck at work follow your heart's dream

that's so great! isn't it wonderful when things start to fall into place? it must be so scary to go back to work after to long. believe in yourself. it's not impossible. it's just a matter of getting used to it all (job and therapy) and getting comfortable again.

congrats!
