Well I'm taking the night off group therapy, after identifying where I need to take my one-to-one sessions next, and being too busy on the job front to have two nights out in a row, travelling around in the rush hour.
The next session marks a year since therapy began. If I chose to go monthly in Feb, then that would at least give me the one-to-one and the group night in alternate fortnights, rather than having any more back to back sessions.
It's great that I'm strong enough to just take nights off when I need to do other things, counselling's not my whole life which is how it felt at one point last year.

Great that you feel that way DoubleNine, and I hope it makes you feel better by being able to post stuff here as well.
Yes, I took February off as well and refuse to regret it, once again I needed the break for myself. However, it won't become a pattern. If I have any more end of month job deadlines in March then I'll complete them by Easter rather than miss any more nights.
Within the last month I reported him over the phone. In the next couple of weeks, I have to meet with the cops and decide how far I take that process. It all depends what they find out based on the info and what I want to do, even if I don't go ahead I've done my bit now they have his name.
Making the calls made me feel great, the shame lifted and I felt confidence again, even though it then killed my concentration and I missed a job deadline. So now I'm rested it's back to getting my life on track.
2nd NSPCC app gone, and donated some cash because it's not clear just how much the Halifax donated for taking out their affinity card - the charity says £30 and 25p per £100 spent, Halifax say just £20, so I sent along £13 and gift aid makes that £16.67, closing the gap.
It's all about the jobs now, I want work to get money to get on with life, fed up with the bureaucratic crawl and time to get back out.
Wow, a month of change. My old therapist retired, and I had a natural break of a fortnight. I needed that before the new one started. I'm cool with the change and grateful for everything counsellor no.1 did for me. Will have to get him a thank you card.
It's back to weekly to begin with but the day has changed to Friday (I might have posted all this before) so at least the counselling's not happening at a time when I might normally want to be applying for work, the interruption and effective cancellation of the evening was getting to be a major grind. This way it's always 50/50 for the cinema on a day where the rush hour will never be as mad as the rest of the week.
So life's all right! Time to grind the stone job wise as ever.
I'd like to know more about the couselling itself- what do you explore during a session? How does it make you feel? Do you feel the counselling has assisted you?
I got "inteferred with" with a friend's dad and it took a long time to get over and come to terms with - but it can be done! I ended up on drugs and self-harming, and the sexual abuse contributed to it. Counselling can help wonders. I just want to send you a hug and to let you know - you can win - you might not completely exorcise your demons, but you can learn to fight them down. My thoughts are with you.
