I'm Sorry, Your Hour is Up

As I stated before, I was looking for a therapist, and eventually found one. I had my first appointment today.

I must say, I was itching for 3 PM to roll around. I was excited for my appointment with my new therapist. I have been in "therapy" before, but that was not very productive at all. This time, I have a therapist all to myself. And, I can actually make some sort of progress.

We started off with some New Patient paperwork, but got down to business pretty quick. She asked me how old I was, where I grew up, my relationship with my parents, and why I was seeking therapy.

I talked about what's going on in my "love life", as well as my social life. I didn't talk to much about my parents, but as we all know, everything somehow leads back to your parents.

My main concerns at the moment is my sleeping issues and my problem with emotion. She basically told me that it sounds like I have a sleeping disorder, and that I need to get a referral from my doctor for a sleep specialist. We have yet to discover the root of my emotional problems. Oh yea, and we discovered that I sleep best when I am stoned.

My next appointment is two weeks from today. I was kinda hoping for tomorrow. I wonder how many times a week my insurance will pay for me to see a therapist.

As you may be able to tell, I like my new therapist. I feel comfortable talking to her, and this about all that counts.
