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 [...]
I Spoke too Soon
Well, I guess I jinxed group therapy. Our group therapist told us today that she would be passing the group off to another therapist. While I logically understand that she is doing this to spend more time with her family, emotionally it feels like being given up on by another person. I literally just said [...]
An Update (because I can’t sleep)
Hello loves, It is currently 4:11 am where I am located. And, I can't sleep. So, I figured I would give everyone an update. I know I have been pretty quiet lately. I've just been trying to recharge after my summer semester. School: I will start with school since it is fresh on my mind. [...]
What Insomnia Looks Like
Insomnia is insidious! I talk often about the depression and the anxiety and the nightmares. But I don't ever say much about the insidious side effect of the nightmares, insomnia. I am a pro at lying in bed for hours, tossing and turning, while my brain mulls over the threat of sleeping. And ultimately, it [...]
Holding Space and The Perfect Weekend
This weekend was the weekend of my yogi retreat for my yoga teacher training. In this post I want to share some of the amazing experiences and lessons that were gifted to me over the last few days. I learned that when we share our stories with one another everything else slips away, becomes white [...]
