I’m feeling reflective today. Probably because I’m going for my checkup later. Some people dread going to the doctor, probably because they are afraid of bad news I suppose. But I rather enjoy it. The doctor’s office is one of the few places I don’t feel badly talking about myself.
That goes back to unresolved childhood issues. The fun thing about therapy, in my experience, is it’s really good at bring shocks to the system into the light, but it is shit at resolving them. Sure my fear of climate change is tied directly to the massive lack of control and stability I felt during my formative years. That’s very insightful. Now fix it.
Umm we don’t really do that. We just make sure you understand where you came from (don’t end a sentence with a preposition).
So now I’m still deeply concerned about climate change but I have an extra layer of anxiety in the form of feeling like if I were a better patient I could resolve this fear despite the fact that our government is currently behaving like climate change is a hoax.
It’s not always great when I’m feeling reflective.
