And of course, I'm sure you're thinking:
And rightfully so...my bad lol
One of the things that I need to to work on is not getting so stressed out that I shut everyone and everything out. It's one of the many things that I've spoken to my therapist about.
THAT'S RIGHT PEOPLE...I WENT TO A THERAPIST!
Her name is Rhonda Winfield Jordan, and she owns Heart to Heart Counseling in Germantown. I strongly advise anyone who feels like they're going nuts such as myself to see her, because she will help you feel less nuts...I guarantee it.
- They'll judge me - whatever you have to say, they've probably already heard.
- They'll tell my business - that's not only unprofessional, but illegal under HIPPA; unless you say you're going to harm yourself or someone else, they are bound by confidentiality rules.
- I can't afford it - quite the contrary! I actually got my 1st 8 sessions FOR FREE with my job's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - definitely check that out. (And the sessions I did after the EAP ran out were at a significant discount through my insurance plan).
- What if it doesn't work? I doubt you'll come out of therapy saying that it didn't work. I know I've had a lot of breakthroughs in dealing with my anxiety, communicating my feelings to people, and standing up for myself, all within a few months.
Bottom line is, while I've been gone for a minute, I took time to work on me. I don't think I'm the same person I was when I started this blogging journey. But, I want to keep you guys up to date on me, and my life and such.
This isn't the last of me people - thanks for welcoming me back with open arms.
