To say this past month has been a little rough would be gross understatement. I dropped my boundaries when I should have kept them up. I got sucked back into crazymaking, my sister posted an awesome article on that:

My sleep took a nose dive. I finally decided to call another therapist. This one had a pamphlet in my dentist office. Mother of my charming caring dentist that carefully makes sure I am comfortable and calm under her care. Yea, I figured with a daughter that awesome the mother might be very nice too. I met her today and I think we will work together for awhile. I haven't had a woman therapist before. I know why, I chose not to. No mystery on that one. I figure it is a good sign of my healthiness that I am not allowing my mother to influence what gender my therapist is. Yup, I purposely chose to work with men before. I am especially interested in her belief in yoga. I took yoga in college upteen years ago and I liked it then. I don't remember anything except a few of the poses. I am trying to not view this as a step back as much as it is a gentle acceptance that I still have a ways to go. I learn something new from each person I encounter. I am hoping for sufficient improvement that I can start sleeping at night. Getting enough sleep would be AWESOME.

Definitely not a step back! This is fine tuning.
Thanks Judy. I like your perspective.
