Lynn 54
two days ago I saw lynn and just now am posting the journal.
 I was surprised because Lynn actually opened her door two minutes before her session was scheduled to start. She told me I could go sit down and she was going to make some hot tea because her teeth are hurting because of sinus stuff. She said she was gonna run in and use the restroom while the tea was made an offer to make me some but I opted out. When she came back she ask how I'm doing and I said OK and asked how she was doing. She said she was doing good and asked what had been going on in my week. I started by telling her that I was really anxious because I'm trying to figure out whether or not I should be in a group practice long term. I explained how Josh had brought up wanting me to stay for years and I hadn't really anticipated staying all that long because there's just not enough incentive if we don't get the loan forgiveness. She was basically like just do it for now and then leave whenever your ready just don't sign a contract LOL. I was like I mean I could do that but I don't really want to go into it being shady because he is a friend and because I don't like bad business like that and I want to have and maintain a good positive reputation in the community. She pointed out that it could be good to do it for a few years just to build a reputation in the community but that after it will probably be better to just go off on my own because it's so easy to do. She was like if you're trying to ask is it easy to do your own billing the answer is absolutely yes. She said that she's not the type of person who is really savvy with administration but she does it just fine and that at most even with 30 clients a week it takes an hour to do. She mentioned my previous therapist Sony and how she has gone out on her own and that she was like why didn't I do this sooner and that Lynn was like I told you to do it sooner LOL. I was like I mean that's good to know for future reference. She pointed out that the dream goal would be to not have to deal with insurance at all and just take private pay, which is something that is easy to do once you've established a relationship in the community. She said she gets on average like three referrals a week and she always has to tell them she can't take any more clients. I laughed and said that I was glad I had gotten in with her when I did then. She said she did that with working out a group practice for a few years and establishing herself and then going off on her own. I said that definitely made sense and she said she hoped it helped and I said that it did. I told Lyn about how cheap my current rent is and she was like how in the world did you land that. She said her rent currently for this nice building is $500 a month. I was like mine is literally 75 and it just worked out because I was friends with the art therapist next-door and she connected me with the owner and the owner is wealthy and owns multiple buildings and is in as concerned about profit as much as she is helping people and finding like-minded people to rent the space. I told her about the art therapist and how the nutritionist had been fucking her over and how I was glad to find out that it wasn't just me that she was a narcissistic bitch too. Lynn agreed. I also told her about how my parents texted me about going to whole foods on their vacation and their new goal to see all of the whole foods on vacation and that had made me think about how she said that they obviously have a problem but they don't seem to think so. She laughed and said that's certainly not her goal on vacation. I laughed and said come on Lynn you don't stop at Whole Foods every time you're on vacation. She said she actually went into one for the first time the other day and she thought about me and was like wow this is the nicest grocery store I've ever been to. I laughed and said it's definitely nice and the prices definitely are excessive. She said definitely. 
I said that I'm just really tired of being emotional and had gotten upset in the recovery service thinking about how I have eaten dog food as a kid at the dinner table and felt really powerless. I told her about how I had actually told my husband about being really anxious together day but that it seem to increase his anxiety because there wasn't a direct cause and I think he worries that I will go back to how things were. She asked if I had pointed out that I had coped really well and I said yeah but he still seemed pretty anxious about it so I think it's just the anxiety without a cause that really makes him nervous. I told her about how I wasn't sure why I had felt so anxious but I don't I literally felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin so I took the dog for a run and that didn't really help much but it helped slightly. I told her that I've given a lot of thought to be spiritual stuff that we have been talking about and that something I had realized on my drive home after therapy was that the pastor had gotten bariatric surgery and I said I wasn't sure what that have done to my little brain as a kid.  I told her that I remembered being really anxious about it but also being confused because everyone was saying how good he looked and I didn't really understand why. I told her that I hadn't gone to talk to my pastor but that I had actually found a podcast when I was googling and researching information on spiritual abuse and religious trauma. She smiled in a way that said she was right and I was like I know I know it's just really hard to acknowledge that it was trauma or that it was abuse but I realize that if somebody else had told me some of the stories that I've shared, I would think differently about it coming from someone else. I told her about how the podcast that I found was a therapist and a yoga instructor and a pastor and that it was actually really good and they talked a lot about the vagal nerve and that I couldn't help but wonder to what extent for me it was the religious trauma or the phobia because I would dissociate a lot when my brother would get nauseous in the car but that was also a time when I was told to recite Bible verses and would be screamed at so it's hard to know where the connection exactly is between the two but I mentioned how the podcast went through some of the psychoeducation on trauma which was things that I already knew but hadn't really considered in light of the religious stuff and that it made me really think about the kind of response as I physically had within the religious settings. I also read her a quote from the podcast about how basically it's hard to really determine a theology and intellectual perspective when your brain is traumatized and still isn't sure if it's safe or OK and so I'm going to take a break from trying to figure out the answer to my gold tooth story for a bit and maybe once I start working through the trauma that I will be able to intellectually look at everything that has happened. I also told her about how my brother had responded saying that everything about that church was bullshit and he wouldn't be surprised if it was a cold. Lynn laughed and was like so he's aware and he validated that for you. I was like yeah I guess I just always forget that he really wasn't in it nearly as much as I was because he was a bit younger and also because he didn't have any mental health issues as a kid and also because he got to go to public high school so he had a more normal experience. She pointed out that kids are wired differently and that makes sense. She said there is an upcoming EMD our training on religious trauma and she would send me the email in case if I am interested. She said that she went to an EMD our training over the weekend in New York and that she had learned an interesting perspective that she thinks maybe helpful both for me and for my clients and she asked if I would want to try it. Of course I said sure so we went with it. 
She had me envision a container with my eyes closed. I pictured the big gray tub that I have in my bedroom. She told me to envision putting inside the box whatever things I have going on that are bothering me but don't want to work on today. So I left out the religious stuff and basically what I ended up putting in the box was pounds of fat because what would be bothering me with the body image and also my phone because that would be connecting with people like my parents and I just don't really want to deal with it at the moment. She had me describe the box to her so I did and then she did this unusual thing where she basically had me open my eyes and re-orient to the room and she asked me to take a minute to really look around the room and orient. So I did and I said OK and then she asked me if there was anything about the room that was bothering me or uncomfortable and I looked around and I said no not really. She asked me if there is anything about her that was bothering me and I just kind of laughed because I was like what an odd question but I was like no you're fine you look cute today and she laughed and said thanks. She asked if there was anything with my body that didn't feel safe or comfortable. I said that was a bad question, not because of Lynn but because of me because it makes me start thinking about my body and I hate my body and that I feel fat and she was like OK scratch that just more on a physical level internally as far as any illnesses or headaches or things like that and I was like OK well then there's nothing. Then she asked me if I believe that it's OK to feel safe when it's safe. I kind of paused for a minute as I thought about it and she repeated it and I said yes and she asked me if I felt safe in this room and I said yes I feel safe when I'm with you and she said good and smiled. She asked me what it felt like to say out loud that it's OK to be safe when it's safe and I said it feels good in this moment but it also feels anxiety provoking to say because I know that no sense of safety can really last. I knew that wasn't the answer she wanted to hear but she was like OK will go back to that good feeling and noticed that and I was like OK it does feel good to say in this moment. She asked me to think of a word that might represent feeling safe in here and I said gratitude and I told her about how in yoga yesterday I was thinking about how I had therapy today and the yoga instructor asked us to think of something that we are grateful for him and so I actually thought of Lynn because I'm really grateful that I have her. Since she had me think of the word grateful and notice how safe I feel in this moment and used in the tappers. She asked me how I felt and I said good she did it again and asked how I felt then I said that I noticed that my breathing has gotten a little bit deeper and I wasn't shaking my foot anymore. She said good and explained how important it is to really re-orient yourself with the present and find safety and how often clients may not actually feel safe and that makes it much harder to do trauma work. I said that made sense and she asked me to do this at least two or three times a day to really check in. She said when she checked in just now with me she noticed how hot it was in the room and she took her scarf off. I left and I was like yeah I'm glad I'm in a tank top because it is always really hot in here. She said she thinks it  has to do with the seasons changing but I was like I'm pretty sure it's always hot in here which she was like maybe on the warm side. 
She asked me about a direction for treatment and pointing out the different layers and how she thinks you know that first layer was self-deprecation in that second layer is the perfectionism and the one underneath that might be the religious trauma and control and how we can work towards dealing with that. She asked me if that's what I think would be most helpful to work towards. I said I think that's definitely a good avenue because I can see how they are all interconnected because A lot of the phobia stuff was intertwined with religious incidents and so it would make sense. She pointed out that she thought so too and especially with me getting a one on some of those issues and I was like yeah that's still really really bothers me. I said the other thing was that I really just don't want to hate my body and obsess about bodies for the rest of my life. She looks somewhat confused and I was like and I don't mean that I want you to work with me on the eating disorder but that like I have a client who has an eating disorder and once we process the memory where she got made fun of for being fat she no longer believe she's fat and so there's a part of me that's like well crap maybe if I can just fine whatever memory triggered me feeling like I'm fat and if I can process it then maybe I can be normal. I told her about how I hate that I'm always judging other people's bodies and that it's exhausting and she was like well you're human what would happen if you were to except that we all do that and I was like I don't mean judging in a negative way and she was like yeah we all do that and I was like no we don't and she was like yeah we all judge people based on their appearance to some extent even if it's on my unconscious level and I was like OK well I don't mean necessarily that I am mean and judgmental about peoples bodies I just mean that I'm aware that when they do brain scans of people with eating disorders looking at other women's bodies there amygdala lights up where as normal healthy controls their frontal cortex lights up and so I just get exhausted because I start comparing myself to them and I don't want to be doing that forever. She talked about retraining my brain forever handheld maybe if we start doing this new approach with the container exercise at the beginning of therapy and not necessarily going through my list of things bothering me that maybe we will be able to work through things at a much quicker pace and then I will be able to come for booster sessions and not a weekly thing which would free my time to do other things like yoga more often which I was like what the heck but I was like realistically we both know I'd end up working more but I was like honestly that just triggers my fear of abandonment piece because then I'm like oh my god she's trying to terminate me even though I know that's not what you actually just said and then she acted really confused by that and was like oh well we need to work on your abandonment issues then and target that next. I was like LOL OK I mean that's definitely always been an issue for me so I'm down with that. Lynn mentioned some word that I had never heard of, I wanna say something like neuroceptive or something, and she said she just learned this weekend but it has to do with being someone who is very sensory aware and takes an a lot through their surroundings. She pointed out that I'm very sensitive and that she sensitive to which I kind of just laughed but she made the point that when you are constantly picking up on the sensory experiences you really need to pause and re-orient to the present and make sure you feel safe and that by doing so it will make you more ready to do trauma work.
We scheduled for next time and I headed out.

Well, I'm an 18 year old male and I've managed to stumble across a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda being sold for a reasonable price and in pretty good condition. It's been my dream car for a while and I was just curious if I can get some estimates on how much I'll be paying for car insurance? I live in British Columbia Canada if that makes a difference. I've taken driving school and I've heard good grades can lower rates as well, which I have. Oh yeah, its got a 440 4 bbl :). Thanks""

What cars have cheap insurance for a teen?
Not looking for some online thing with only a couple new cars. In YOUR experience what cars have the cheapest insurance? Right now I'm looking for any beater as looks really don't matter too much as I'm only gonna pay like $500 or a little more depending on the car and only going to drive it for 3-4 months or so (unless its a classic) because with the job I am getting next month Ill be able to afford a much nicer car and insurance in no time. I got a quote for an 03 civic si coupe at 400 bucks a month (while on my dads insurance) I am 17 and thats too much for me right now heck i could buy an old beater civic for that much. So I'm thinking going back as 90's and up (I'm all for classic cars but I dont think the insurance will be any less because they think all old cars have massive and fast motors and are death traps. I like this 87 monte carlo ss that isnt too old but again the insurance sees ss and adds another $100 -_- ) theres also a 76 camaro with a 305 that I really like and its already yellow! (bumble bee anyone?) though i dont know how the insurance would be for that. It's just a regular one as there was no z28 option in 76. Now I'm thinking what about the early 90s civics such as the hatch? though I would guess insurance would still be high because they are easy to steal see my frustration no matter what cheap car i think of insurance finds a reason to skyrocket rates What cars can you recommend me that I can get for a grand? cheap insurance and cheap gas would be good too but if the fbodys arent too bad on insurance then i dont care about the gas.

“There are songs I’ll never listen to again but you can’t take all the thing that make me the way I’ve always been”(The Doubleclicks): The longest war
So I am going to talk some more about feminism. With some Rebecca Solnit quotes. 
“One girl raved about a nice voice mail a guy had recently left her. I kindly requested she play it and heard this gem: ‘Hey, Lydia. It’s Sam. Just calling to say what’s up. Gimme a ring when you get a chance.’ THAT WAS IT.” - Aziz Ansari
youtube
Okay so that’s a little bit of Aziz. But now on to more serious things. 
Here in the United States, where there is a reported rape every 6.2 minutes, and one in five women will be raped in her lifetime - Rebecca Solnit
I went out a bit ago with a guy. And he was complaining about there being way more women than men in New York City. Which appears to not actually be true... And I said something off hand about not noticing because to be honest I’m so busy trying to filter out creeps that the pool seems relatively small. And the response I got was that women being concerned about men was bull shit. Basically word for word. 
There is, however, a pattern of violence against women that’s broad and deep and horrific and incessantly overlooked. - Rebecca Solnit
I wasn’t attacking this guy in particular, in fact i was actively not talking about him. I was talking about refusing to give someone my name, which I’d given him. Which is something I do. I’m relatively easy to find if someone was trying, as you can see by this url I have a reasonably strong presence online. Not to mention that my profile on OkCupid says I’m a web developer and my first name and that career easily land you at my linkedin and a bit more research will get you my email, my phone number, and a slightly out of date address last time I checked. And I don’t really want step one of vetting someone to be “Here please have all of my personal information, and my picture”. 
There are exceptions: last summer someone wrote to me to describe a college class in which the students were asked what they do to stay safe from rape. The young women described the intricate ways they stayed alert, limited their access to the world, took precautions, and essentially thought about rape all the time (while the young men in the class, he added, gaped in astonishment). The chasm between their worlds had briefly and suddenly become visible. - Rebecca Solnit
Now I don’t want to misrepresent, I’m extremely lucky. Nothing truly terrible has happened to me. I get creeped out a lot. On the funny end, I got a message from a guy named “Mr. Goodbar” which I kind of wanted to reply to with “maybe google Looking for Mr Goodbar”. I get messages, FIRST MESSAGES, on OkCupid that say things like “Give me your address I’m coming over now”, but I’m smart enough not to. I also get pushy guys that after two messages ask to meet immediately to have sex, and are sometimes extremely pushy, which is why I tend to not give out personal details early in a conversation(a lot of men send their name in the first message). Basically, I’m extremely careful, but I am like that because I know what happens when you’re not. 
It offered advice like this: “Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone ‘by accident’ you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can call for help.” While funny, the piece points out something terrible: the usual guidelines in such situations put the full burden of prevention on potential victims, treating the violence as a given. You explain to me why colleges spend more time telling women how to survive predators than telling the other half of their students not to be predators. - Rebecca Solnit
When I was in junior high my friends mother left her abusive husband, well she tried to and he murdered her in front of my friend and her two younger brothers. I know this because she showed up at another friends house while I was there to ask us to call the police for her when it happened. 
Happily the five publicly pro-rape Republicans in the 2012 campaign all losttheir election bids. (Stephen Colbert tried to warn them that women had gotten the vote in 1920.)  But it’s not just a matter of the garbage they say (and the price they now pay).  Earlier this month, congressional Republicans refused to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, because they objected to the protection it gave immigrants, transgendered women, and Native American women.  - Rebecca Solnit
When I was 19 and home from college for a couple months a guy asked a friend if she was me and she told him she was meeting me(he knew my brother, ergo asking, at least that’s the story I was told). He followed us around for that whole day, then came home with us(he was 26) then informed me the next day we were dating. Over the course of the next 2-3 months I attempted to break up with him repeatedly, every time he would tell me I couldn’t do that without his consent. Then he would show up outside my house, outside my work, and in the small town I lived in, in the park where I met my friends. His cousin was my boss(who was so excited we were dating). So every time I had to go back to dating him. He told me that we weren’t allowed to spend a night apart, so I had to sleep with him every night, etc. I don’t want to get into it. My mom made fun of me for dating someone “stupid” but never stopped him from sleeping at our house. Neither did his parents who he lived with. I told my mom once I couldn’t get rid of him, and she laughed. I was terrified of losing my job. I was terrified that he was bigger than I was, and it was Maine, no one locks their doors, or windows, or cars. I dated him because it felt safer to know the rules then to see what he would do. I didn’t even break up with him in reality. I moved back to New York and stopped answering his calls. He threatened to “come to New York and find me” on a bunch of voice mails, but in New York I always felt like I was safe, 8 million people after all. And after a few months he stopped calling. 
Women’s liberation has often been portrayed as a movement intent on encroaching upon or taking power and privilege away from men, as though in some dismal zero-sum game, only one gender at a time could be free and powerful. But we are free together or slaves together. - Rebecca Solnit
When I was 15/16 there was this guy I knew he was 26 and had been in jail for statutory rape. Now when I was that age I was actually very religious. I had had one boyfriend and we hadn’t even gotten close to sex. My friends mother introduced him to us as someone her daughter might want to date, she knew his aunt or something. Her daughter wasn’t into it, so she decided to set me up with him. I thought he was cute, but he freaked me out. He called me from jail once to tell me he had beaten up a friend of mine who was also in jail. He use to sit on me, and hold me down, not in a explicit sexual way but it scared the shit out of me. One year on Christmas Eve I was at her house and he was there getting drunk. I learned later that someone had promised him they’d set me up with him that night. When I left around 1am to go home he followed me out to my truck, which honestly already made me uncomfortable. And when I went to get into it, he pushed me up against it and started aggressively making out with me. I had some difficulty stopping him, because 16 vs 26... I ended up kneeing him in the balls so I could get in my truck and drive away. I continued to see him for the next 2 years until I went away to college. This was not considered an issue by any of our mutual friends. 
We have far more than 87,000 rapes in this country every year, but each of them is invariably portrayed as an isolated incident.   - Rebecca Solnit
I moved out of my mother’s house halfway through my senior year of high school. I lived with my best friend, my ex-boyfriend, and 2 other male friends of theirs in a 1 bedroom apartment. As the only girl I slept in the room. But everyone used the entrance through my bedroom, no one ever knocked. When one of the “friends” would get drunk he would crawl into my bed in the middle of the night and start to “cuddle” me. I would pretend to be asleep as long as possible and hope he would fall asleep. If that didn’t work I would get out of bed and sit at the kitchen table and read a book until morning and just not sleep that night. 
What’s love got to do with it, asked Tina Turner, whose ex-husband Ike once said, “Yeah I hit her, but I didn't hit her more than the average guy beats his wife.”  - Rebecca Solnit
When I was around 14 my friend’s older brother would buy us beer. His parents knew and were fine with it. I found out when I was 19, from his mother, that the reason he did that was that he had a crush on me and was hitting on me, and she knew. Again he bought us beer so he was in fact 21. 
We have an abundance of rape and violence against women in this country and on this Earth, though it’s almost never treated as a civil rights or human rights issue, or a crisis, or even a pattern. Violence doesn’t have a race, a class, a religion, or a nationality, but it does have a gender.   - Rebecca Solnit
My ex-boyfriend who is generally a nice guy. One of his best friends beat his wife. Every time he brought it up I would say “that’s not okay”. And he would reply “It’s not really my business”.
Now like I said I’m lucky. I’ve never been seriously hurt. I’m lucky that I grew up around male step cousins and we fought I knew how to hold my own. I’m lucky that the guys were never super violent to me directly. I’m lucky that I was careful, I’m lucky that I got to move away from that small town. I’m lucky that I have some of the friends I did who told me, “You deserve better”. I’m lucky that I believed them. I’m lucky that I’m not a victim. But we are all unlucky where we live in a world where these things happen. Where we aren’t equal. 
There are so many great men and women in the world, but it’s so hard to be willing to even give people a chance when you are afraid of all the terrible things that could happen. And what doesn’t help is people denying these things.
