greenstormChosen therapist today. I mean, I'm done with the work one, and I haven't started with the money one, so.
It's really good.
The theme of community comes up again and again. Having a poly therapist means I can say "I can't imagine ever meeting anyone who could see or understand all of me, maybe that's why I need so much community around me so different folks can see my different aspects" and then add "that's so poly of me" and get a response that's thought-provoking and validating all at once.
I told her that I thought university damaged me longer-term than I expected. I've not wanted to admit that was true, but I think it is. I've lost some of my skill at interacting with folks. Maybe it's partly because I've lost my love of people. Sort of.
I used this as accountability to finally book the financial therapist appointment.
Maybe next time I'll talk about gender.
