First therapy session in many many years…
.
Findings; I still have dissociative disorder; its alive and well; the base core of it.. Nothing has changed; but; everything has changed. All the areas within self that can change; emotional spiritual attitude… and much development in the areas of relational and activity; all of this has drastically changed. However; other areas of self protection that cause me to be anti social remain; However; its all countered with a new recovery person deep inside..
.
The recovery person is wanting to move forward face things with help and not run. And I believe Im showing this… and that is fantastic…
.
I still have my problems
.
.
Note; When at the meetings I notice something interesting. Many people complaining about many outside events that hinder their progress…
.
However; when I speak; I suggest for myself; No one now is to blame for my forward progress; all issues come from inside me and nowhere else. So; set forth the goal; get support; work with God and success based thinking processes… Get personal support to go with general recovery support; such as therapists councilors and sponsors… And pray meditate; work with laws of attraction and begin the process or continuation of creating attraction before it gets here.. Write stories as if I already have what I want. And then watch the quantum shifts occur before me…
.
And setting forth my goals;
.
Began to work with God on step by step work heading toward my goals; and report in with sponsors and therapists.
Report in within meetings…
.
Im getting to the point that all I need the meetings for is to show up for support… thats about all I need…
However; not yet; Im still working out fears; so; I still need the support. However; I am heading toward my goals.
.
As for ACTIVITIES; COMPLETE>>….
.
Ive completed a complete round of activities skills that would represent a normal persons work day; Ive been able to accomplish this one skill at a time… Now; putting all those skills together; Ive done it.
However; the subject God picked for me to practice this in the real world; This is personal. Im not working a real job or anything… However; for the first time; I have completed the ability to begin learning these skills and accepting where Im at; out in the real world; its means; Im functioning again; altho at basic levels independently.
I do not have any other skills that need to be required now for this general solid basic task of claiming that I can function at rudimentary levels outside at a specific activity task. It doesn’t mean Im any good at it; it just means I can make a decision; step outside and participate in a task of skills and complete the process; However crudely; But it is done… The only thing stopping me would be the discipline to accomplish something; and that does not require therapy or 12 step work.. That is something I would decide on and begin to work on.
.
I don’t care what the task. Ive accomplished the basic building blocks of taking on a task; so; it matters not; I have the ability to attempt a task outside and stick to it and accept it; at basic levels; this means; Im functioning again outside…
.
The point of this; concerning Activities; My mental illness kept me from functioning in reality and certainly outside at anything; Ive been locked in my own dream world….. So; Ive had to work for a third of my life for any of this to open up; one piece at a time… And Now; Ill move on to what remains in relationship work…
.
.
.
RELATIONSHIPS;
.
Ive started with relearning how to talk to people at face level again; This was 15 years ago or more… slowly practicing.
.
I had to study communications, sales, dating processes… Anything I could on how to approach and talk to someone.
I started practicing years and years ago.
.
I had to work through past resentments around relationships; And I have...
