Hi. It is 6:52 AM. I’m sipping coffee right now, elated that today’s therapeutic poetry has me smiling. I woke up this morning slightly finding flaw with the manner in which I expressed myself come 7+ days ago. That is behind me. That is in the past. I cannot change the past.

Yesterday, I listened in on a video explaining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I can see how I could benefit from that. Nobody on this boat I’m sure even wants me muttering anything that sounds like “more therapy.” Including me!

The clips I watched reinforced the fact that I should not feel as bad wanting more one on one break-downs of social situations. WANTING MY HAND TO BE HELD FOR EXAMPLE WHILE BEING ASKED CERTAIN QUESTIONS IS NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY! OR TOO MUCH!
