Had a great session with my IC and she gave me a "Thinking Distortions" exercise for homework. So when you have a negative thought, challenge it like an attorney(shout out to 25yearsMLC) and write down a counter thought.
Me: I need to be the rock of the family and a force of stability Counter thought: I just need to be available for my DD's
How is that a negative thought? It seems like exactly what you should be doing.
