Dear Anita,

I went back and reread one of your post that talked about the dialectical behavior therapy. What incredible concepts, I hope to elaborate on those further whether it is with you or perhaps a psychotherapist of my own. I have so much faith in the work that we do here.  The Concept of reality testing is so extremely interesting to me.  Of course I do not believe that it replaces professional psychotherapy entirely, but I know that the work that I’ve done with you is above and beyond what most can comprehend. Our interaction is truly incredible, helpful, and undeniably life-changing. I am so ever grateful for this.

I am going to Go to staples right now to print out that worksheet of interpersonal relationships. I think it is an excellent idea for myself to print it out, and hand one form to my husband and one to myself. Given that I realized only a few minutes ago, that I am terrible at intrapersonal communication, what better place to start turn on the workshop about it.

One thing I see today- is that I have been resistant to therapy in the past because of my intellectualization. Feeling that I understand concepts enough that I don’t necessarily have to go backward and think about the cost and benefit, as I outlined in the work I did earlier with you today. Zooming through life doesn’t make for someone who learns from their past behaviors. I must now learned from my past behaviors. Sure I have an exact reason for what I am and what I’ve gone through, a root. But that doesn’t take away the hard work of learning from my own mistakes.

It’s not that I think I am too good or I am already fine. It is that I don’t have that much faith in value in doing this sort of work. But today because of everything that you typed out, so meticulously, I see so much amazing value in it, so much incredible value but in such a simplistic sense as well. It is truly fascinating. The same things that you can ask someone who is a child can also be asked to an adult, and yeah I could make a world of a difference. It could be something as small as, when you walk into the room how do you want people to see you? This sort of work for an adult could be life altering, and if I asked to a kindergartner it could be also fascinating to here their response.

I’m saying is that I feel very motivated by what you have posted to me today, and I feel very admiring of the therapist that helped you so very much. Fortunate that I have someone like you to share that abundance of wealth with me. Perhaps after all you have made me into a believer of what this sort of work can actually do.

In Order to engage in any lifelong sort of treatment you must have faith that you think it will work. For long-term. I already have faith that our interaction is very beneficial to both you and I. But beyond that I have not been Very dedicated to a treatment plan that is disciplined. I can’t say I will jump start it tomorrow, and that would be foolish. But I do have some more hope about it, and more faith in it.
