Rec'd on 🤔 Had to reschedule my therapy appointment for a different day this week
get the fuck over it
My therapist is not a tough love kinda therapist. And I've maybe heard him curse three times. But we had been talking about the same issue for a while and I was trying not to ruminate, but I was also analyzing and pathologizing over and over. And finally he just said, sometimes you have to get the fuck over it. And it allowed me to imagine a life beyond the past, to not let the past define you. It's easier said than done to just flip a switch and actively choose a better way. To stop it from taking up so much space in your head. But sometimes you truly need to flip that switch and get over it.

I feel this deeply. working through my own past right now and I’m reaching that point where I’m just ruminating too much. I can’t live in these past wounds anymore and am learning to release them from my body. I’ll get there eventually

EXACTLY!! There are issues that I can talk about with my therapist over and over again but sometimes I just have to wait for the situation to pass and move on Even tho I'm not paying for my sessions, I wanna talk about other shit I have on my mind

Look - go to therapy
It’s not glamorous and there’s a period where it feels really bad and it’s like why would I trust this freak with my deepest, darkest. But then after a couple years something will happen that you used to freak out about and you will notice that you’re not freaking out and you’ll realize that it took years to create your issues and it’s taking years to undo them but it’s happening.

Not giving a fuck
Not in a “I’m too cool to gaf” way but in a way that’s like… I’m actually more focused on what’s in front of me and being present most of the time and not stressing over something I have no control over (like the past) or something I don’t have the solution to right now (the future). It took me soooo long to learn this but after consistently going to therapy weekly for 6 months straight I’m finally getting the hang of it and my therapist was right!!!!! Deal with it when it’s right in front of you and not when it’s still 100 miles away. BE PRESENT. :D

my therapist told me that no matter how much i want to blame other people for how they treat me i am still responsible for letting them treat me that way and the only change will come when i accept that i need to let them go.
