So, I went to group last night, even though I've literally been sick about this whole thing. I'm glad I went though because things have taken an interesting turn. We all walk in and take our seats. Both J and L are there. First thing, L tells us that due to the concerns raised about [...]

What is Normal?
Yesterday in my Advanced Psychopathology class we revisited the idea of normalcy and abnormality in relation to mental health. The professor showed us this slide: And he assured us that all of us were "normal" because the department had viewed our applications to the program and we all got in, so nothing sent up any [...]
Group update
Just a short post to update those who are following the Wednesday night S.S. saga. I received a message from J this morning in response to my request to talk to her but not to talk any further with L. She said she "respects how hard this transition is for [me] and others" and that [...]
The more I keep thinking…
I stayed pretty busy today doing homework but unfortunately all of my homework had to do with the ethics of counseling, so it didn't help keep my mind off Wednesday. I know I am ruminating, and yet, here I am. It is problematic, I know, but it has led me to a new realization. Much [...]
Group Therapy: A Shit Show
This post serves no purpose other than to vent about the group therapy transition I experienced today. Lol so if you're not in for some quality crying via words, look away. Group tonight was a shit show. We had the new girl, L, for the first time. I emailed her beforehand to ask why she [...]
Since 30
I was relentlessly optimistic on my birthday. I thought, "yes, I'm going to live every day like it's my birthday." It was like no matter what happened on my birthday, I was happy. The day was a celebration, even if all I did was go to therapy, have an MRI, and go to class. I [...]
It’s My Birthday
Today is my 30th birthday. The first people to tell me "Happy Birthday" were my therapist, who sent me a message, and the car dealership where I bought my car a year ago, who have an automated system that send messages for them. This is how 30 starts out. Lol I know, I know. I'm [...]
Almost 30
My birthday is in 2 days. I will be 30. I keep looking back on my 20s and wondering if maybe I've had my priorities wrong this whole time. I've accomplished a lot, technically, but what do those things even matter? I've been married. But I got divorced. I've loved and been loved. But all [...]
I’m a yoga teacher
The day finally came! I graduated from yoga teacher training yesterday! 200 hours of practice, observation, learning, and growing. What an amazing early birthday present to myself. I never would have thought a year and a half ago when I went to my first yoga class that the next summer I would be getting certified [...]
Progression in EMDR therapy
Hello loves, It's been a while since I've mentioned anything about my progress in EMDR therapy, as I've mostly just been building the relationship with this new therapist. I was definitely skeptical of her for a while. But, she is starting to grow on me. I've still asked J (my group therapist, who is leaving [...]
