Hi, I'm Everly. A 26 year old woman who is a therapist and---is also single. Today was a normal day as always. I got up, cooked breakfast, showered, and was good to go to work. As I was driving to work, I was thinking about why I am still single. Before thinking of the list, I felt like I had forgotten something. I shrugged and carried on with the lists.
THE LIST OF WHY I AM STILL SINGLE
1. Overthinker
2. Quiet when I don't know what to say/does not know how to start a conversation
3. Underestimate partners tough times
4. I will always talk about myself
5. Does not talk to men...THIS SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE
Forgot to mention... I also do like being alone at times. Now that I have thought about it this is going to be a challenge for me. I just hate how my mind talks a lot when I need to focus, sometimes I do show in public that I talk to myself and its embarrassing. Yesh, I do get misunderstood by people thinking I'm on drugs pffftt. As I finally arrived, I zoned out for a while and sighed.
My client came into my office room. We had a discussion about how tired she always were at her job, and I knew that she just needed more self-esteem positivity. At that point I just wanted to agree with her and not just that, something was bothering me... Oh, right I forgot to drink coffee, to be honest I think a therapist herself needs a therapy. Kimberly York (my patient) said, "Even though I get paid finely and have wonderful kids plus a good husband it just feels like something is missing."
I questioned her and she answers, but one question manages to tick her. The question was "Had you ever tried self-care?" I said it as if it was the end of the world. She was stunned as if I said her therapist was going to sh*t right now "OoOH WHY HAVENT I THOUGHT OF THAT," Kimberly said. Like seriously? She sounded like I just changed her life, and I feel proud. Although I did remember her saying she works in the hospital, so I hope she has time for herself.
I asked, "Mrs. Kimberly do you think you have time for your self-care space?" Good thing she wasn't all that of a negative person and she replied, "Of course I'll try to make time for myself Everly." I smiled at her and our session was done; this was the only session I enjoyed the most today among my others. Since it is a usual day today, I went home, cooked for myself, I ate, had a nice night bath, and Goodnight. ._. -_-
