I think I am finally ready for one on one with tradtional talk therapy where I will have to laboriously dissect each and every memory. I have a rough draft of my memoir, and every word is true. Just pure memory. No dreams, no assumptions, no what should or could have happened, no references or psycho babble, no down playing, and no anonymity. Just my story. They will know
who I speak of in order for me to feel the real emotions or I will just be wasting my time. My book is my way. Now it is time I accepted help from higher powers with esoteric knowledge. I know the sessions are written and kept on record for other doctors but I trust that they will be kept under lock and key. I am not afraid of what flaws the doctor may discover in my choices. I know at some point they will challenge me. Even though this person did this...why did you or did you not.... It means I have to talk about everyone. And if it is the only way I can move on with my life then I have to trust them. It means I am unable to work creatively for the duration, that's ok because I will keep my eyes on the prize at the end so goodbye forum blog for a spell. They know I am well and they know I am perfectly sane. And one said it is such a shame to watch a bright and talented person who is still young feel so hopeless. So my problems must be rooted in the past. So bring on the couch, I will lay my troubles down once and for all. No victims, only survivors. Last edited by Anonymous32895; Nov 01, 2018 at 03:51 PM.. |

I think it's great that your memoir writing has led you to this place. Many people find writing therapeutic, in some cases far greater than therapy itself. But what therapy has to offer you is for someone to be a witness to your story, for you to feel seen and heard in the way you intended, and for another human to appreciate what you've been through and how you plan to move forward. That's what therapy has done for me.
Good luck to you, wish you all the best. |

A witness to your story.
Yes I also hope that I can feel someone Is in my corner. I thought talking, Would inhibit my writing. It seems to be acting As a conduit. A real live audience. I was always nervous Speaking to a Group of people. But one person, I can handle. |

Stigma is the thorn
In my paw. Maybe it is me Assuming that the Doors are sealed From me because Of my hospital stays. Many people go To rehab more Than once and relapse. I did art while In rehab. It's the Only constant in my life. If I do art first Then maybe it Will lead onto something else. I should do the portfolio year. For once I am Excited about this New chapter in my life. To be able to learn And do my own thing At the same time That is what makes Art exciting. There's More than one answer. And it's about Doing something different. Freedom of expression Has limits though. Come on, I am A stick in the mud At the end of the day. I did maths and science Until I knew where My heart lay.

Suffering for art is
In a way egotistical. I get that. It's not like Being a suffragette. I was never that brave. I was a coward. I cannot see me In a pride parade Any day soon or anyday either. I have reservations With them to be honest. They really are not me. I would campaign For gay marriage and For adoption rights. Yes most definitely. But for simply being. It may fade to The past someday. When I am gone. But my personal art? It is look how Good I am at something. I have made sacrifices, So call me egotistical. Because recognition is An ultimate aim. I am an artist Before any label Like a feminist. I am not sure I am strident enough To say I hold Some feminist beliefs. I don't feel the need To speak about it dogmatically. It is what it is. If you have a problem I won't try and Change it as it's Your problem, not mine. Last edited by Anonymous32895; Feb 28, 2019 at 03:21 PM.. |

On Friday I spoke
About someone and My therapist swore Under his breath. I won't say what They called them. I spoke about how They put their chair Back on me all the Way travelling to a comp And how they Humiliated me in class Infront of everyone By saying I did the Walk of shame When I never! It was ten pm On a school night. Because I was not With my friends. |

I'm not really a poetry person, but I gather something negative happened with the therapist and you got hurt. I don't know if you will see this since you deleted your account, but I am sorry that you were harmed by your therapist (if I'm interpreting things correctly).
