Journal Entry for April 29, 2008 Mood
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
I have therapy today...I am going to try my darnest to open up and talk.  I am already feeling anxious and therapy is 7 hours away.  I really like this guy, though he does remind me of my dad.  That might be hard...He is older, actually my parents age, he dresses to well...maybe I don't like the fact that he is always in a suit and tie.  He has really great insight though.  I can say something, and he will turn it around or ask the same question in a different way that is really the issue...He is great!  I just need to get past the superfacial things...It is just his mannerism is similar to my dad.  Is that going to be a problem for me if and when we do talk about sexual abuse???

    It won't be a problem, Angie. Talk to him about the abuse and ask him about trauma therapy. He's probably going to bring it up, anyway.

    Angie, would it help if you wrote things down as you do in a journal entry and read them to him? Using this method, you may not feel awkward in the transition phases. You will be able to go right to the heart of the discussions.

    Talk to him about the similarities with your dad. He will probably help you with that.

    Good luck Angie! It is hard but just spit it out. Once you get the words out, it will be easier to refine them and explain what you mean. Just use your last sentence, "When do we talk about the sexual abuse?" I hope it goes well.
