Thoughts about therapy

• It’s nice to have a chat, especially in this time of isolation
• I can be more honest as there is no agenda
• Seeing thing from an outside lens
• It doesn’t seem to move fast enough
• … and unsure if it is freeing up the unknown
• Feel the need for guidance

Current state

• In general
  • I feel like I am wasting my time in life, falling behind, anxious
  • I seem unable to unconditionally give myself to my partner
  • I seem unable to find something I believe in
• Maybe we should talk about empathy
  • My lack of it
  • What that means
  • How does that impact my life
  • How can one cultivate it

Question

• Do you have expectation of the therapist?
  • more active interrogation

talked about

• Talked about current expectations from my partner
• How I am doing well with my son
• how I am not filling my need to be of service
• what do I most want?
  • love and be loved
• Why do I feel the need to carry and display the past
  • As a leaver? - This seems constructive and destructive.
• Why can I not snap out of it and provide unconditional love?
  • inability to love!
