I finally went and saw my counselor/mentor. She keeps me grounded and helped me realize that maybe I'm not as screwed up as i thought. I needed someone to tell me that.
I need to keep learning and asking hard questions, but it's not a lost cause. And that's the good news of the week.
What if i joined eharmony?
What if i got a counseling degree?
What if i learned sign language?
Or french?
Maybe i could take some art therapy class?
My supervisor at work encouraged me to write some poetry....which isn't really my thing, but the point is, do something good for your soul. I made a collage, have been working on a sudoku book, and have started a scripture verse organization collection. Basically I'm trying to keep scripture in my head, and having verses on cards, ready to go helps. then i can look up a topic I'm struggling with and pull out some verses that seem applicable. keep them in my car or on my mirror, something to keep scripture in my mind. I'm not really sure how it's going to turn out, but I've got a big pile of cards so far, and three in my car. Toby says that i am my mother's daughter. I guess that's not such a bad thing. :)
i should probably read a book about men, how they think, what flirting is and isn't, something to learn more about guys. It's easier to just hold it all at arm's length. But that gets me nowhere.
And how does one learn about crisis and trauma counseling? or specific child counseling? can't i take an intro level class to see if it would be a good fit? where and how does one even decide which school to go to?
Got any suggestions?
