The month of December - 11th to 20th Things are only impossible until they are not. Today was my last visit with Stanley for the year. I hope we can pick up where we left off when I go back at the end of January.
Psychology is a strange thing.
It's interesting how much just saying things can help sometimes - and often that having to verbalize things gets them more clear in my head too. I guess the analogy would be putting bandaids on grazes without trying to figure out why the person kept grazing their knees. But sometimes I just need the bandaid solutions, because working on the underlying problems isn't possible. This is a hard concept for lots of people - I had to try to explain it to my osteopath this week too, that even though I understood that if she massaged my shoulder it'd only feel better for three or four days, I still wanted her to do it. I'll stop rambling now because that famous left shoulder is seized up again - I let the osteopath do the underlying work she wanted instead of just relieving the pain for me, so it hurts a lot this week.
