No, she does not know that I blog, however she does know that I often discuss whatever is brought up in the session with a few different people. I think processsing information, emotions and experiences, often requires a number of different sounding boards... and as I only see her twice a week for a finite amount of time, that processing is inevitabley going to spill over into other parts of my life. I suppose another element to consider is how wise would it be, to only rely on one persons opinion, (however informed and professional) in these matters. I think writing the blog allows me to reflectively process information that then informs and to some degree, pushes the therapeutic process forward. And as I mention in quite of a few blogs, this kind of therapeutic relationship throws out a whole lot of weird feelings, so, yes, sometimes it is good to have those feelings validated as 'normal' by others who have been through/are going through the process. Of course, I have made sure this blog is anonymous, and people don't know who I am (other than one person who I trust with that information), so they have little chance of guessing who (D) is, which preserves her right to privacy. Interesting question though. Also note, I don't get a heck of a lot of comments... sometimes feel like I'm just sending it off into outer space, and thats ok too.Opheliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809979257521630378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222958655788368904.post-28678974287928178652009-11-06T10:43:03.890+10:002009-11-06T10:43:03.890+10:00Hi, first time reader here and frankly I think it&...Hi, first time reader here and frankly I think it's interesting to follow your switch from CBT to psychodynamic therapy, sign of the times I guess. I was wondering though, if (D) is aware that you blog some of it? In my mind therapy is a privileged form of relationship, one in which both client and therapist engage in an in-depth reflexive process - having anonymous readers from the net (i.e. me) add their two cents changes things a bit, don't you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
