Week 9 / Individual Counseling / 160519

Today's individual counseling was about confidence, the reasons for that confidence, and good experiences from the past.

I gained confidence from what happened yesterday; the burden of talking with someone has greatly decreased. I was able to talk well with anyone.

After that, it seems I no longer need to worry about what to talk about. Actually, I'd broadened my context enough to accept just about any topic, but I'd been worrying too much all this time. Still, now I can reduce the worrying.

Having become a meaningful other in England and then coming here, the strong desire to become a meaningful other here is something I can't help.

It's not that I can become a meaningful other to just anyone, but becoming a meaningful other to even one person is meaningful.

Next week's counseling goes back to the stories of my 1st and 2nd year. I think I'll talk about the days when I was different from others.

Meeting the teacher separately outside isn't uncomfortable for me.

Talking about what comes to mind while drawing the 'big picture' might not be difficult. I think I'll be able to talk about it.

Success experiences really are important.
