“I don’t know, Doc. I just feel so conflicted.” I exclaimed as my therapist grabbed his iPad and attached his swiper to take my money.
He replied, “Well it sounds like you should revisit some things from recent years that you can’t quite let go of. Before we meet next time, I want you to try to resolve one interpersonal conflict. This could be old or something that comes up; doesn’t matter. Just do something to take a stand.”
“Alright,” I said before I walked out of the door.
As I walked to my car I continued to take deep breaths. Therapy lately had become stressful since we were drudging up the past in recent weeks.
“Sometimes sex is just sex, and there is no deeper meaning,” I said to myself as I hopped in my car to head towards home.
That day my therapist and I were talking about a gentlemen that I had relations with in grad school.
I would occasionally get drunk and send one something stupid, but that had been the only contact we’d had in about 5 years.
