I re-read my last blog entry and cringed a bit. I know I'm prone to moodiness, but that was a bit more over the top than I prefer, so I wanted something else on my front page.
Anyway...
I've been feeling really disconnected lately, though I'm slowly crawling out of my hole, I think. It helps that I'm seeing a fantastic new shrink. She's smart enough that I can respect her intellectually, but she is also observant enough to know the difference between when I'm explaining something, and when I'm just trying to intellectualize a problem to escape it. Her techniques are unfamiliar to me in the psychology realm, though they're very reminiscent of techniques I understand from my spiritual practices.
On that tangent, that's another area I'm trying to dive back into. I've been slack (to say the least) in my daily spiritual work, and I'm eager to get back into it. I'm just hoping I'm in a place where I can give myself permission to make mistakes, and not succumb to perfectionism. Time alone will tell, I suppose.
