Headed back to therapy... in Drifting along like a Tumbling Tumbleweed...

So I have a therapy appointment today. First one in a REALLY long time (like 4 years) and I’m terrified.
I know I need to go back. All the shit that happened over Christmas confirmed that for me, but I’m scared of the outcome. Scared that I will need to make some radical changes in my life (including a divorce). Scared that I won’t be willing to make the changes I need to make so I can be happy. Scared of what will happen if I do make the changes. Scared to find out who I really am without anyone else trying to define that for me.
So typical therapy fears I guess.
The good news is that I like the therapist and he’s helped me with a TON of stuff already, so at least I don’t have to go back and tell all the old stories over again.

Thank you! It's still scary, but I HAVE to do it.

Finding a therapist you click with is at least half the battle. I was fortunate to find, after a couple calls, someone who worked out well for me. Emilie's never managed that -- even though I (and sometimes she) think she'd benefit, she always feels like they're not really listening to her, just slotting her into categories they're comfortable with.
