I used to waste so much time worrying over things I had little power over “what others thought of me” “thinking about everything that could go wrong when taking a particular action, and refusing to take that action until I had a plan in place for each of those possibilities” not only time consuming but mentally exhausting as well. This often left me feeling depressed as I often felt I had wasted so much of the day by the time I got out of bed to actually take action on something. Living alone and having no one to tell me how I was feeling on many occasions was perfectly normal. I actually started out with a counseler who referred me to a psychologist and I made some progress there, but it wasn’t till a friend of mine who had no longer needed Rebeccas services recommended Her to me, that I started to make the real big strides to overcome the childhood trauma that was the root of my issues. For the last year I have benefited immensely from our regular fortnightly sessions
And believe it or not, had probably the best year of my life despite lockdown and the pandemic,
I purchased my first house, was elected chairman of my 57 unit corporate body, actually started to enjoy my job again through opening up more (sharing my thoughts ) with my colleagues and developed and sustained 2 new friendships with people who think like me (socially ackward intellectual introverts)
