return to therapy

[jay]

After a one-month absence. A 2.5-hour session... <lj user = "patgreene> was just back from her trip and faded. Room for cautious optimism... we pretty much have figured out what's underlying the repeated upsets between Pat and I, and have a general agreement on a direction to proceed. It will require both Pat and I to look out for each other's interest as well as our own, and to reach consensus rather than just deciding things unilaterally. Otherwise... a bit to my surprise, I discovered that much of my crankiness and feelings of worthlessness and depression appear to be tied to the sexual abuse meme, and feelings raised back to the surface by my reply to my parents a couple of days ago. I've needed help over the past couple of days, but have been afraid to ask for it.

I can't get away from work tomorrow afternoon -- a set of proposals (that I've been run-ragged by JL regarding, at times) is due then. Maybe after the 20th, when I'm back from vacation?

Hell, evening works. I'm working at the store tommorrow, but would be free after. So maybe it doesn't work very well. When do you leave? Otherwise, after the 20th is fine. btw, tell your lovely lady i don't have her email. Or give her my phone #.

Early Saturday, so I'll be packing Friday night. :-|

I'll tell her, although I think it is also on her LJ info page?
