Going to therapy is not about venting your issues, although this can be a part of it. Then, once the issues are clarified, both parties decide on the outcomes they wish to achieve.

“…feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.”

Can you think of a time in your life when you weren’t energized by your circumstances? (Job, goals, friends. Etc?)
According to Dr. Campbell, this is a cue to check in with yourself and perhaps re-define what brings you joy.

Stages Of Psychological Responses To Loss

Most people believe that the ‘Stages of Grief’ apply only to the death of a loved one, but this is far from true. It’s also a misnomer to think that the stages go in order, are progressive, or that you will ever actually be done. We grieve for lost dreams, for job changes, relationship changes. We even grieve for changes in life that we deem a good thing....

Reality Isn’t a Bad Place

Life happens. It isn’t personal. There are no judgements. When you think something “should”, or when you think something “shouldn’t”, you argue with truth (and lose - only 100% of the time!)
