Lately, therapy has been basically exactly what I’ve needed it to be…even when I don’t know what it is that I really need. My life is intense. And getting…more intense. At one point, I just said something along the lines of “I need more help. Or support. Or a long break from all of this”. …

Sometimes, you find yourself in a situation where there are truly just no right answers. Sure, there may be a slightly less wrong one? But really, given the choices, you wish you just didn’t have to choose at all. Because no matter what you do, you’ll feel like it was the wrong choice. (At the …
Sometimes, therapy just….is what it is. I knew last night would be hard. I knew I’d have to talk about the things that hurt the most. And that’s exactly what happened. As soon as I got there, she basically said “let’s color today, it seems like a good day for coloring”. I totally didn’t disagree. …
“She’s insane!!!!!” I say very loudly and very matter of factly as I leave therapy late last night. But …who am I referring to? My therapist?!?!? Surely not. SURELY, she isn’t insane.

Well, in NOT so typical Monday fashion…I’ve been asked to cancel my day today. A typical Monday for me looks like, dropping my son off at school, dealing with the 2 younger ones at home, then picking my son up early from school, taking all 3 kids to therapy (one has OT, one has PT, …

Sometimes, life gets rough. And it gets you down. And it can be incredibly hard to keep going and keep fighting when it seems like everything that happens, ends poorly. That’s how it’s felt for me lately. Everything is hard. Everything I do is wrong. These things just keep happening. Truly horrible things. My newly …
