therapeutics
--------------------
the universe is an infinite sphere...
the centre is everywhere...
the circumference nowhere...
--------------------
first of all, i didn't even realize that was a word...
secondly, apparently more people read this blog than i thought... i didn't install a hit counter purposely because i thought it'd be too much of an ego blow to realize that i was talking to myself... but i've gotten random msg'es from various people as of late who have stumbled on this site somehow, and it's kind of reassuring to know that i don't have to succumb to solipsism... and yet i feel somewhat self-conscious with that knowledge now... kind of like realizing that your neighbours can hear you singing in the shower...
or something like that...
anyway, apparently it's a rule or policy of some sort for some people that therapy shouldn't be discussed... well, sucks to your ass-mar... no, well, i don't mean that... i just mean... well... i think it should be discussed... how else can therapy be therapeutic if it's conducted in isolation? i would at least think that the people closest to you should be aware... or maybe not... is it better to not discuss the details of those sessions with your partner -- or with anyone -- because it may be precisely because of them or situations involving them that drove you to the little couch in the first place?
i don't know...
i've got a little assignment now... i'm supposed to keep track of the situations that trigger anxiety and my reactions and thoughts before, during, and after the experience... i get to have a paper record -- a fancy little chart, even -- of how seriously messed up i am... this ought to be fun, right?
anyway... blah blah blah... privatization of health care... blah blah blah... michael jackson... blah blah blah... crisis in bolivia... blah blah blah... third-world debt is cancelled... blah blah blah... same-sex marriage vote... blah blah blah... rhetoric, rhetoric, and more rhetoric...
someone please stop the voices...

Most of us are familiar with the phrase “human spirit.” It usually refers to the qualities of love, courage, high ideals, strength, and goodness that inspire human beings to act on behalf of others or to challenge personal limitations. Similarly, there is a “couple spirit” that can be created in a relationship. It grows out of each partner’s willingness to believe in the other and consciously work toward achieving the highest and the best in the relationship. You might say that couple spirit is a spiritual energy that grows out of the joining of the human spirit within each partner. The result of this joining is an alliance that has a life of its own.
