Jadey Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Hey. I saw my school councellor (sp??) today and since my break up ive mainly been talking sabout my ex, Joe. Today she made me try out this thing, its great if youve got unsaid things, or have NC. She pretended she wos Joe and got me to say things to him that i wanted to say but cant. I cant remember wot it is called but its soo effective! She got into the role really well (shes never even seen Joe but it felt like i wos really talking to him. She said the things hed likely to say and it wos really intense and emotional, but i left feeling cleansed. It felt like i ahd just had the convo ive wanted with him since we split. It brought up so much emotion but wos really good for me. She said its one of the best ways to help you move on and its apparently proved. I advice anyone to get a shrink to try this, or a good actor! I obv havnt moved on yet but since that i feel quite abit better..Its worth a try
westernxer Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 It's called catharsis, and I'm glad counseling has helped you find it. I used to do a lot of writing when the blood pump was broken. It's amazing to look back on it, even after all these years. Plus it helped me to write better. You should try it on weekends, when you can't see the counselor.
