It did go really well. I felt so much better after I got off the phone. Things have been making tiny baby step progress for me and the session helped me to see that more clearly. Also, it is so nice to have someone in your corner who believes in marriage and doesn't think you're crazy to try and make things work. So many times, family and friends, and even therapists, look at you like you are crazy for trying to get back a "broken" relationship. Anyway, I already can't wait for the next session!
On another note, a bit of journaling...
Today I knew that the ex was headed down to Mississippi to see the OM. That made me sad of course, but I took the time to write all of the positive changes (however small) down in my journal and that seems to have helped. Then, I went to pick up the dogs at the vet's and they told me they noticed a small lump on one of my dogs. The cells they pulled from it were a bit abnormal and they're supposed to call me on Monday. That set me back a bit but hopefully it's nothing major. They didn't seem to think so at the vet's office.
To those of you going through the DR steps or something similar, I would certainly recommend taking the time to write down what's working for you and what's not to have as a reference and a reminder of your progress. It's so easy to forget small steps when you are looking at the big goal of getting back together. I really feel like it's helped me to do that today. I'm pulling for all of you!
