So for all of the non-believers (as I used to be) I have found a counselor I LOVE! I have been 4 times and I originally started with no expectations and I told her this, but I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders and it was so overwhelming I needed help. I wanted to start with the relationship with my daughter. I will start by telling you she is wonderful. She lights up my life and I am not sure of any other way to say it. I felt like I was loosing her FAST and I couldn't continue another day watching it happen feeling helpless and rejected. So I attended by myself the first session and then invited Lauren to see her own counselor on my second visit. I thought if i could get these two counselors to talk out what our problem really was (which deep down I already knew, I just needed help saying and doing it). The third session was unbelievable. She was able to help me sort out and understand my feelings. She pushed me to do and say the most uncomfortable things out loud and then out loud to my daughter, that I totally knew had to be said. It felt unbelievable, but I can't tell you the anxiety i felt doing it. Once it was done............................................OMG!!! I was on cloud 9. I just did my appointment following and now I am going to work on Jay and my husband. Jay is probably the most urgent, but I feel like my husband needs some parenting advise....He loves so hard it impacts his ability to be an effective parent. Anywho...I just have to say WOOOHOOOO!
