PHP on Tuesday was SO GOOD!

Like I said, PHP on Tuesday was SO GOOD. First cool thing is that a new girl, Heather, came into the program on Friday, and I was kinda talking to her and being like, "How many kids are in your family? Bla bla bla" She was like, "Five...and I'm the second oldest..." I was like, No way! I'm the second oldest too! (Of seven)...Anyway, from that clue I had a sneaky suspicion that she was Mormon, and then on Tuesday after one of Alan's skills groups (cause she had talked in the group about maybe reaching out to people at her church) and so yeah, I asked her what church she went to and she was like, LDS, and I was like, no- way- me- too- omgosh. So that is pretty exciting to have. But also Tuesday while she was talking during process group I could totally relate to everything she said. Which is really, really cool.
Anyway, lots of other cool things also happened. Like in process group H waaaaaaaay helped me cause she is like one of the best therapists ever, and she was talking to me, and I do this thing where I stop and think and I have dialogue in my head but I don't say it, so she kept saying, "What's going on in there? Put your thoughts into words," etc....Which was WAY helpful cause I got SO MUCH OUT. Including I made people cry and Tricia was like, "you're so inspiring!" Which is SO INCREDIBLE TO HEAR. Cause I was like, "I reallllly value my feelings." Etc. So process group was really great.
And also community meeting was SO GOOD cause I brought up SUCH an important issue about things I had been feeling just about feeling betrayed and stuff and H was like, "You've never had any negative feelings towards anyone in the program the whole time you've been here," etc. etc. Which is true. Which was why it was so hard.
Anyway so then I talked to her for a few minutes afterwards, and H is just so dang amazing. I told her I wish she did outpatient stuff, and she said that was her goal! And I asked her if I could come talk to her when she did! And she said yes! So that is suuuuper amazing.

Monday was such a sad day though. Cause it was Elizabeth's last day :( I cried. I miss her. A lot.

Oh but I almost forgot. On Tuesday night I went to institute and met a boy! His name is Daniel and he is an architect major at Cal, and he is on the ballroom team and does art and cooks and he is sooooo nice. He walked me to the Bart station afterwards! And looked me up on facebook. Which is pretty cool. :)
Yesterday I had off PHP :( Stayed home. Cleaned my room. Taught piano. Made a postcard for Sarahhhhh!! A little bit rockier than last week, so that sucked. whatever. Part of that was like, SPIKED ANXIETY about having to meet a new therapist on Monday, whose name also starts with J! We'll call her JH. She sounds nice. I am reluctant though because I will realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly miss PHP.

:(

Off to go do art therapy today! I'll post pics. And therapeutic lunch. :/
