OGT Daily Day One Hundred and Sixty Two BOURBON

So three days of intensive emotional therapy training is enough to drive anyone to drink and that's exactly what I did this evening.   I am not a drinker but Bulleit Bourbon on the rocks took the edge off of what had been a ringer of a therapy training session in the afternoon.   We explored what it meant to have boundaries around ourselves.  Literally 360 degrees around ourselves.   Going into this I thought, "How difficult can this be?"   Then I sat down in the client seat and was asked to imagine the comfort (or discomfort) zone around my body.   When I turned to the left where I felt stiffness, I found myself staring at and empty wall and burst into tears.   Who knew that feelings of abandonment and loneliness could arise so quickly?

It is wonderful the realize the wisdom that the body contains which has little to do with thought processes.   Wonderful to realize that a little drink can soften that edge.
