    What are you feeling that you don’t want to struggle with anymore? Is it guilt? Is it feeling in the way? Is it an unnamable negative? If it’s the last one then you can probably do some work surrounding labelling your emotions, so that you can then apply logic to them- do they fit the current situation? Or no?

    Finding a good therapist is like dating. You might not jive with everyone, and that’s ok! It sounds like you would do well with one who either a) is cool with you coming to the session with a goal or who b) helps you set a goal for each session at the beginning. It sounds like your previous therapists weren’t meeting your goals, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t worthwhile.

    I’m sorry that you feel like you’re getting in trouble often. I hope this feeling passes soon.






  • I’m going to be honest, I read on my Kobo way more than I read physical books, and I own a floor to ceiling bookshelf in desperate need of weeding. Public library integration through Libby can’t be beat, I love that it has a backlight, and it’s more comfortable to read long novels especially- and no danger of ruining. Don’t get me wrong- I love the tactile feel of paper and the smell of old books, but there’s a lot to be said for convenience. Also- library ebooks don’t accrue late fees, which have been a major source of guilt for me my entire life.
