I agree with you @REDLINEZ750 This forum is a real-life example of healthy love and support!
I hope I don't stuff it up by being too blunt. 😁 I'm trying to tame my words and how they can come across. It seems like a fine line to me. My psych told me, a few months into therapy, that I didn't need to say everything I think and it's not what I say but how I say it! It was the first time I'd ever heard of such a thing. I'm pretty good these days but if my anxiety gets too much or I feel overwhelmed, my 'bluntness' tends to come out!
I'm glad your session was good. Was it one on one or the group? My group session is on tomorrow afternoon. Laughing and crying are great. Both are needed! Rage not so much. That only complicates things!
My cuppa was great. I had an affogato which is straight coffee poured over ice-cream. Yum! My elderly friend told us the same stories again, but it was lovely to see her face brighten as she was telling us! We're hearing all her stories of the local 'olden days' which is nice.
I'll tell you a story about me skydiving back in the 80's. My son's father was the drop zone pilot, so I used to go out every weekend, at one stage. My skydiving was disastrous! The first time I did it, they had to kick me off the plane because I 'couldn't' let go! 🤭 I've nearly hit a shed. Another time I landed on a plane (on the ground) and the owner wasn't impressed. They suggested that I take up golf! 😆I did do a jump with two instructors from 11,000 feet and went straight into the foetal position. Thankfully, they could catch up to me and stabilise me, reminding me of the position I needed to take. I did skydiving to help my fear of heights. Talk about going to extremes! It didn't help! I still have a fear of heights. 😂
