Today I went to Counselling

"I'm getting a lot of pressure, a lot of fear" she said.

"You are setting impossible targets for yourself," she said, "and then failing to meet your expectations and feeling like a failure."

It would appear that bullying yourself into being who you want to be doesn't work. You have to find the feeling.

As a first therapy session, it was pretty positive. Now to find out the secrets of self care and goal-setting without rendering myself a quivering, crying mess on my Mum's bathroom floor.

Small steps to start with. Ha!
