today my therapist raised her voice to defend me over something i told her and followed it with “this is really fueling my fire i apologize for getting so angry on your behalf when you’ve been so calm about it” and you know what. sometimes that’s what it takes. she’s right. i’m allowed to be angry about how someone treats me instead of instinctually forgiving them! there’s nothing like a good therapist being hella invested in your lore as if they’re watching your life like a movie 🙂↕️
Talking to my therapist, it is nice to learn anger is a useful emotion! Being mad is sometimes very justified, it doesn’t mean you are aggressive or scary, but there’s a lot to be mad about!!!!
my therapist told me that no matter how much i want to blame other people for how they treat me i am still responsible for letting them treat me that way and the only change will come when i accept that i need to let them go.
i try to text people every single time something reminds me of them or i’m thinking of them i use to think “don’t be annoying” but then i realized life is too short to not
