First therapy session between ART and MB

Drew this at like 3am last night. So please, do hold that against me. I could have done better.

[murderbot-moodboard]

i swear art and murderbot are like two old ladies with the nursing home's most farcical rivalry. their entire relationship consists of watching shows, bitching at each other, and missing each other dreadfully the whole rest of the time

if you think the streaming wars of today are bad, Murderbot apparently exists in a future where all the shows and media are region-locked across entire galaxies

r/Murderbot mods really said "if you can't use it/its for a fictional character, get over yourself".

Personal: One thing lots of people tell you about trauma recovery that I still didn't understand until experiencing it is that making new choices (the kind that go against years of brain-wiring) can take a lot of time and effort. As in, you spend weeks or months telling yourself, your therapist, and your loved ones that you are going to do [the thing]; [the thing] is the next logical step for multiple reasons; there's no good reason to not do it and so you're going to do it this week. Then this week becomes next week, and next week becomes next month, and... yeah.

I generally think of myself as more willing than most people to change my behavior based on new information. But I'm discovering that sometimes, new information is not enough to get me to change ingrained unhealthy responses and coping mechanisms. Last week, I finally did something that took me several weeks of avoidance mixed with false starts and repeatedly telling myself I needed to do it. My fears and bad habits, combined with some legitimate life obstacles, took much longer to work past than I expected. (I think I need to give more grace to some of the people who I've considered frustratingly slow to change.)

But, interestingly, I've come out on the other side, and I feel a sense of accomplishment. Even though I know that, due to [reasons], [the thing] may not work out the way I hoped, and I may have to do a similar [thing] all over again. I've proved to myself that all the lies my fear was telling me aren't true. I did it once, and I can do it again, while putting any anxious thoughts that arise straight into a box labeled "no longer relevant." All the weeks of struggling finally moved me forward just a bit. I've reclaimed a bit of brain matter, and nothing can take that back, not even if I find myself in another situation that takes weeks to work through.

I'm well aware I have areas that still need a lot of work. But when I make forward progress and I know it, that helps motivate me to keep going. Proving that I'm capable of doing hard things makes it easier for me to believe I'm capable when I'm entering new territory and all I feel is afraid. I'm still coming through for myself, even when it takes a long time.

The beginning of All Systems Red is probably the fastest I've ever been hooked by a book, the first line alone got me pretty good but the whole first chapter has stuck in my head- the visuals, the timing and pacing of each line, every time I've relistened/reread it (too many times to admit) it I can see it so vividly so finally drew them to release them from my head

(I've already realized I feel I made Secunit too tall and long in these but releasing them before I say I'm going to redraw it all again)
