Therapy

At my last session, my therapist suggested that I write in a journal. She said it would help me let out some of the "deep-seated emotions" that I needed to address. I wonder what she meant by "deep-seated"? Does that mean she thinks I am crazy? For the entire four months that I have been in therapy, I have been trying to figure out if she thinks I'm really nutty. Like when she asks me a question, I try to subtly turn the question back on her to gauge my craziness factor. For example -

Therapist: "So, how did you feel when the saleswoman refused to put you on the list for the Hermes Birkin bag?"


Me: "Weeeell, tell me this: would I be considered crazy if I said I wanted to beat that bitch?"

So far, I haven't been too successful.


I view therapy as a form of treatment. Day spas have facial treatments, various skin and body treatments, hand and nail treatments. This is just another necessary appointment as part of the BAP grooming routine. Like Jay-Z says, I gotta get my mind right.

So, I am going to try to write in my blog at least once a day but if I have a really emotional day or an unbelievably boring day at work, I'll write several times a day. In my next post I'll write about some of the many things in my past that might have contributed to my "deep-seated" emotions.
