I’m in a very stuck mode at the moment. I’ve started a new therapy with a psychiatrist that’s based in acknowledging and validating emotions. I’m very numb and it seems like a good idea. But yesterday I started down some old paths leading through my divorce. Dredging up really old stuff. I don’t think that’s useful. I’d like to acknowledge my current sadness that my marriage failed, but not contemplate all the whys! I really want to couple therapy with positive mental reinforcements, so this post is timely. I have many positive outlets, mostly outdoor activity based, like birding, but they’ve taken a back seat recently and it scares and frustrates me.
