I wanted to add that I'm seeing the C in an attempt to help me become a more emotionally stable person....so that I'm not only able to be at peace emotionally after all this, but so that I'm not reacting to/saying/doing things based on my emotions.
So far we've spent most of our sessions talking about the failed relationship...though that is the source of where my emotions are currently coming from. I hope that the next session will focus more on me.
As far as looking at or not looking at my issues, since that seems to keep coming up here...I must be completely missing what I'm supposed to be doing.
I admitted both to myself and others (and sincerely apologized for) the mistakes I made in the relationship that led to its crumbling and have ceased or reversed those mistakes. I bought and am reading many books including one on self-confidence and one about not sabotaging myself by being too nice. And I'm doing this so that I will be a stronger person capable of facing head on what life has to throw at me.
