Therapy

Today, Leah, my therapist, and I delved into the topic of misdiagnoses, leaving me perplexed about the radical changes in my medication regimen over the past year. It feels like an eternity ago when I was prescribed lithium, but now Lea insists that I exhibit more consistent behavior.

Curious about her assessment, I probed further, asking what she meant by "constant." Lea explained that during our sessions, I usually start off on the quieter side, perhaps a bit sedated. But as we delve deeper into our conversation, I gradually warm up and embark on a spirited monologue, touching upon a myriad of topics, often looping back to our initial subject. At this point, she typically offers some guidance, and I listen attentively. Afterward, the session concludes, and it's time for reflection.

Leah asked me about my objectives for these sessions, a question that invites me to ponder the unique journey we're on together.
