#3 Counseling diary_Do not be fooled by reason.

There is something that bothers me the most these days. As a person whose hobby is looking at calendars and who likes to plan, I have a very strong desire to quickly resolve and settle this matter. I wondered if I had figured things out today, but my doubts were not resolved until I got off work. Then, just before leaving the office, I unintentionally heard new information. Witnessing in real time something that was handled so irrationally and not transparently made me feel frustrated and angry. Moreover, seeing the person who was trying to help me blush and cry made me feel even more anxious and angry.

I went to counseling in that state.

After throwing up, I felt a little calmer. As with all counseling, it does not provide the right answer. And anyway, it’s a matter of my own choices and decisions. Things don’t go as planned, and when that happens, you just have to sneak around or get out of the way. The paths are countless. There is no need to get stressed and blush. Let’s take care of our physical and mental health as our top priority.

“I want to rest”

My sentence written twice in the counselor’s notebook. This is what my body and mind need most right now. My counselor told me that it was great to see myself boldly accepting what had happened to me. In response to my thank you, the counselor said that the mistake that people who think cool-headedly make is to be deceived by reason. He added that since it is attached to emotions rather than reason, in fact, it often contains honesty.

Let’s listen to our heart.

It can be difficult. It’s okay to be tired. You can rest.

I have that right.
