Day 11

Here I am on day eleven. It seems strange that so much time has gone by. It really seems like only a day or so ago I was nervously walking through the door to "Day Treatment Program's" doorway. I had a good session with Chris today where I was chided for indulging in "sub-grouping" (talking about group subjects with one or more persons between actual group sessions). I also found out that amongst the other therapists, I am considered "aggressive" as opposed to "assertive." That floored me a little. I imagine myself to be quite friendly and unthreatening. I believe that my earnestness and passion can make me seem imposing (as well as my tremendous bulk). It was a strange thing to hear about myself. The day went well, otherwise and I felt better this morning than I had for a long time. The home stretch is getting close.
