I Haven't Gone To Therapy in 3 Months

Image result for therapy psychology

I wanted to talk about me not continuing therapy. It happens at times and for me i've felt so unmotivated to do it because of my schedule at school, i only go there two times a week and usually when i schedule my appointments it always lands on a different day. I get unmotivated to go solely for it because of the drive and the parking and it's really stupid and immature of me to think that, my health comes first and i should really take the opportunity since it's already paid for with the tuition. The first session isn't really a session it's called a screening, and what it does is basically screens you to see exactly what you would want help in and then from there the next session will most likely start with seeing that process and then going on from there. I don't know how i've been doing personally, i feel as though most of the time i've been doing pretty well, school keeps me busy and sometimes i see people that i talk to or hangout with from time to time. I just feel as though i should take the chance and make an appointment and not care so much of what day it lands on or what time either. I have an idea of what i would talk about, but i wouldn't exactly know how to approach it. Of course i'd have to talk a bit about my sexual abuse, and give some background information about that and tell whoever i'll be speaking to that quite a bit of people know by this point what has happened to me. Starting on monday, when i have my break between classes i'll go in and try to schedule an appointment for myself before it's too late, i really shouldn't be wasting anymore time with it, even if nothing drastic is happening in the moment i should release some tension i put on myself.

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: WHAT IS ONE CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGH THIS QUARANTINE?

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new project in this time that I believe would help the most to reach others with. I want to make my own journal prompts for people to view and to hopefully write to. I would love to see any responses if anyone feels comfortable to share, there is no pressure at all, just love. I've always had a comfort in writing and the connectedness I feel when I write something not only for others to view by for myself to reflect on. I hope that throughout these weekly journal prompts it will ease a bit of the quarantine tension and unite us through writing. With each journal prompt I make I will be responding to my own prompt to give others a view of what I personally think at the time.  My Response: The one consistent practice that I've been trying to do is at least write once a day. Whether that be in my planner or if I just write out a whole letter to someone to give later on. I want to be able to keep my spirits high by at least writin...

Learning To Be Assertive

I've always been more on the passive side, and i think it's due to my upbringing. Each experience i've experienced has leaned me to become more passive rather than aggressive. I love my sensitivity and i love the strengths i have with being a bit more passive,  but there's definitely a line that needs to be drawn to where no one could also take advantage of me. So just recently i was confronted with the idea of being more assertive as it would help out in my career but it'd also help out in my overall daily life. I need to be able to step back and analyze my conscious decisions of always saying yes to people. I want to stop that initial thought of saying yes just because i'd like to help out, i know my intentions are good and what my truest form is, i'm a helper, naturally i like to exist and participate with anything i can. I would like to even mention that at times i can switch and become this leader, an advocate who wants to speak out for things i...

Coping With Isolation

I hope everyone's doing well with all that is going on. I'm sure one day we will all be able to engage in the lives we once had before any of this happened. But for now all that we can do is keep ourselves afloat and balanced. How do you cope with isolation? How are these times treating you? Are you doing stuff you love? Stuff you wished you had more time for and now that you do are you trying to take advantage of it? One of my loves has always been writing because it's my form of expression, I think sometimes written words convey a lot more of my emotions than when I say them out loud. And throughout this time I've been at least trying to incorporate writing, and I've started to write letters to my friends. My friend reached out to me recently and asked if I wanted her to write me a letter, and honestly words can't describe just how giddy I felt in that moment. Of course I would agree to it, why haven't I done this sooner? Why are we not connecting like ...
