Dude, I am loving all of this. I continue to pray for your healing. I have battled similar demons and they still show up from time to time. It is draining to have to fight these same yahoos over and over. But, and this is from my Bible study group, it it because I do not fight in the Spirit, I fight in my own strength. I tend to want the fight to be done my way, and so they had never been banished in His name. Once I leanred that, most of them leave me alone. The ones that do come back are almost seem invited for some reason. That part still needs a bunch of work.
You shall overcome, my dude. You are a citizen of the Kingdom, His child. The blood of the Lamb covers you. The enemy only has the power you give to him and allow him to have over you.

So there’s this thing they like to do to you. It’s give you something to think about as you leave. It’s called doorknob knowledge. It’s designed to make you think about things coming up in the next session. If I’m doing this I’m going to be me. I watched the clock and with 2 minutes left I dropped a bomb on DrM. She said “ oh no you did not just doorknob confess me!!!”

So in this session DrM wanted to start with the doorknob confession. I’m still not ready so I managed to deflect and pass the hour without getting into it. As I left she turned her note pad towards me and first up for next time is…..the confession. So I have that to look forward too

It's like when you know your dad is gonna wear you out but he wants to discuss it first so you find a way to delay the whole thing. Just makes it worse. But, I understand your reasoning. Try to avoid preparing a statement ahead of time other than just a few bullet points.

With DrM I don’t prep. There’s no point in that. She’s way too good at this.
For example, I said something like “cpr is hard” and she said “ ok, that’s the 4th reference to the difficulty in CPR. What is behind that? What were you thinking about that made you reference that?” I had a friend die in my arms a few years ago. She fell and hit her head and I did CPR for 40 minutes till the ambulance arrived. She died later that night but lived long enough for her children to say goodbye. Something I still haven’t really dealt with. Still not ready too. DrM doesn’t miss anything. No reason to prepare

👍🏻 Preparing in this situation would just be building an extra layer of defense to have to gnaw through, wasting time and energy, so good for you.

Sounds like one of the things you’re getting out of this is the freedom to leave scripts behind

DrM is very good at knowing when to push and knowing when to back off. She wasn’t taking on clients and took me anyway so I’m going to respect her and the process.

It's getting darker, numbing the pain inside
Feels like forever, all the times I tried
To be myself, break the chains, no one ever sees
I found the strength in me
I can finally breathe again
Standing on my own two feet again
Learning that my scars won't bleed again
Mistakes I couldn't undo
Try to destroy you
I can finally breathe again
Breathe again

I figured out how to change the picture on my phone that shows up when someone calls me. So I took a picture of the red woman while she was on her phone and used that. Now when she calls me it looks like she’s talking to me.
I’m pretty proud of myself….figuring out basic technology all by myselfIMG_0640.jpeg

I'm usually at the point of tears when trying to figure out something with my phone. It kills me to ask Tiffany, or the kids for help 😂

Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
