Did anything interesting happen today?
I went to therapy today during my lunch hour. During my drive I thought about what I wanted to talk about today. I have been reading "Recovering from Losses in Life" a lot because I will be facilitating a group starting next Monday for R&R at my church. All this reading on loss has got me thinking about my own losses in life. The book focuses not only on the big losses but also the small losses in life, which usually carry the most weight because people do not grieve over them. No grief = no process, no goodbye, no closure. This results in anger, bitterness, depression, anxiety ...
Did you learn anything new about yourself?
While talking with my therapist I shared about some of the losses in my life (having my heart broken in 4th grade by my "boyfriend", changing schools in jr. high, to name a few) and I realized that I have not grieved those losses and I need to in order to continue the journey of becoming emotionally healthy.
How do you feel about your relationship with God?
I feel as though God is slowly uncovering parts of myself that need work. Thankfully He did it in a gentle fashion today.
How do you feel about your relationship with people?
I didn't really interact with anyone outside of therapy and work. I think I needed time alone tonight after being with people these last couple of days.
Other thoughts or feelings?
The song that is playing right now is called "Can't Go Back" ... how true that is.
Time to process the losses and keep moving forward.
