I had a therapy session today and he suggested that I start writing a diary just to analyse my thought and emotions. Reason why I booked a therapy session was because I was feeling very emotional after reading a book called The Copenhagen Trilogy and listening to a podcast about religious trauma from Good Christian Fun and Dirty Rotten Church Kids. I realise there was a lot of my childhood and religious upbringing that I haven’t deconstructed of fully analysed. Truth be told, a lot of my childhood I don’t remember and I am not sure if that is because I have blocked it out or I just have a really terrible memory.
So here I am trying to understand my emotions and make myself a better person. My therapist gave me an emotion wheel to try and determine my feelings. At the moment I would say that I am feeling vulnerable and powerless but here’s hoping that I will be able to understand my emotions better in the future and work on improving myself.
There is probably a lot I need to say and write down but I really struggle with this kind of thing and I think that was why I was asked to start doing this. Practice makes perfect as they say and pushing myself out of my comfort zone is always a good way to improve myself. I have learnt this many times in my life and I just have not applied it to my mental health and this is the time to do better.
