Again, been awhile. Not quite as long as last time. This will be a shorty because I have about 2 minutes before I need to get ready. Still struggling to like Seattle. I went to a therapist yesterday who kind of summed up in my head what I've been experiencing with people in this city. I'm not trying to blame, it's just been my experience. As I was telling him what I was going through, he was just staring at me with an obvious look of judgement. I could almost see the words flowing out of his mouth like a cartoon, "you shouldn't have moved here, get over it, it must me you", etc. etc. etc. That added to eye rolling (he didn't actually roll his eyes but he may as well have. At about 5 minutes to the end of the session I saw him looking at the clock multiple times. At exactly the 45 minute mark, without giving any feedback, empathy, etc. he said.."Time to wrap up, shall we do this again?" Wow...just wow. I'm going to try again because I'm trying to break this freeze and I guess he will be my practice.
I want to like you Seattle...I really do...please help.
