5th session yesterday.
I was not looking forward to it because my sleep had not been particulary good for the best part of the week!
So went along a little apprehensive, but I amazed myself.
As I was discussing the week with my therapist - my attitude to the sleep problems weas far more accepting than before. My words were all positive and that, this is a blip and I'm not going to work myself into a frenzy, but go with it!
We discussed my return to work and again, I was positive about this, even when I had to deal with a couple of difficult issues. Again very accepting of where I was!
Reflecting on my core belief - again, I found myself saying that I was beginning to accept how others perceive me and seeing myself in a more positive light!
Taking this into account, my therapist feels that I am instinctively beginning to question thoughts and how I see myself - he feels that I am doing this, without much prompting from him and all this on a week where sleep hasn't been good!
So, I feel I have turned a corner - probably it's more to do with how I'm beginning to see myself than anything else. There is no doubt in my mind that the therapy is opening the doors, what has surprised me was the positiveness in my manner - it was all natural - I was just coming out with it! LOL
There is not much more he feels I need in the way of strageries at the moment, so am continuing with daily diary and thought records as they are needed.
I have a review appt with the pyschatrist next Monday - but this does not worry me - it is just to see how things are.
So all in all, I have learnt things do not always have to be going as you would wish (for me - sleep), to still have a cracking week!!
Hope this helps anyone reading - I am very amazed and nearly speechless - now that's something - Elaine speechless - LOL
