Then again, I did have a heart attack in the office.....<br /><br />Breaking up with my Therapist:<br />Tired and worn out from all this introspective thinking. I thought I put it in writing, that I wanted to take a break. My husband reminds me that men don't do subtle. Cancelled the appointment for next week.

Thanks for your patience in my previous ...Hey Doc,<br /><br />Thanks for your patience in my previous comments... It was not my intent to push so hard on details, I'm not a therapist or social worker... just someone who loves to observe (and usually write about) people because human behavior so d*mn fascinating. And your descriptions of human behavior are incredibly engaging because they are so powerfully vivid (in a social work/psych kinda way). Seeing the comments to this post, I realize that social workers and therapists read your blog from a different perspective than me... and I can see why the details are less significant for you/them. (Yeah, and I get the privacy thing, too.) <br /><br />As for the visual you created.. it would also be cool to incorporate the "changes over time" part of it... where the point of intersection becomes smaller, or more distant. What struck me, is that this visual is true of all of our relationships... every person who intersects our lives takes up a little (or more) piece of real estate. We just have to figure out if we want to renew the lease ;-)<br /><br />thanks again for your patience!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-33355297860408403702007-01-27T17:42:00.000-06:002007-01-27T17:42:00.000-06:00Oh graffiti!

Isn't that brilliant? If you want to "run away" for a half hour, you should do Frank Sirianni's graffiti-my-blog. You literally do a mini-graffiti wall that represents your blog using Paint or some other primitive drawing program. I loved doing that, FYI.

Therefore doing treatment by deduction (rotely following rules learned in class) won't cut it and can even get you into trouble. It's a good start, no doubt, to go with the rules, and I actually do, by the way. But a therapist also has to see into a person, empathize, and then apply--it's never the other way around.therapydochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088184676439578876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-82497088152920922112007-01-26T08:46:00.000-06:002007-01-26T08:46:00.000-06:00Wow interesting I love your perspectives.Wow interesting I love your perspectives.socialworker/frustrated momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352262399235382201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-26500231061359513572007-01-26T07:08:00.000-06:002007-01-26T07:08:00.000-06:00Mountains of money don't go very far, so let's jus...Mountains of money don't go very far, so let's just keep having fun with this.

The art classes were so interesting and I really did like them, so I took enough of them to make art a major.
