It seems I have too many appointments on Thursdays: Group Therapy in the morning, OT relaxation group in the afternoon. Both appointments can’t be rescheduled, both are good for me. But two sessions on one day are too much. The decision is clear: Even without relaxation group, I have two OT-sessions every week, group therapy is only once a week.
Typical me: At first I thought I would be able to do both. As so many times before I had to admit I had bitten off more than I could chew. Well, at least I realise those things quicker now than I did in the past. But I am disappointed by myself anyway.
I don’t like to leave relaxation group. It was good to have this me-time once a week. I knew the people, and I felt at ease and safe with them. Group therapy is more demanding and brings me out of my comfort zone. But maybe this challenge is exactly what I need now and will help me grow. I need a gentle shove sometimes.
But I will always be thankful for this one and a half year in relaxation group. It brought me more tools for my personal tool box, and this is priceless.

I think we all need a push now and then. Human nature. Once we do whatever it is it’s all good.
Have a fabulous day. ♥

It’s human to be afraid of the unknown, I think, but I can overcome this.
Have a nice day!

Sounds like very wise reasoning and challenges can be good for moving forward.

I hope I made the right choice, but I feel I have to move on. It was a great time, but know I need something different to grow.

Maybe you could do some of the relaxation by yourself at other times. You’ve made the best decision for what you really need now, and that is the most important thing.

This is exactly what I intend to do. Our therapist did a great job teaching us everything we need to know.

I think you’ve done well doing this long for both of them but it shows how far you’ve come to know what’s too much, to put your needs first and make a decision like this. You’ve got the tools from relaxation and can implement them in your day to day life hopefully, and who knows, maybe something else will come up in future on a different day that you could do instead. As you say, maybe this is the time for you to shake things up a little, a time for growth.xx

I am glad I can leave on good terms, and everyone knows how grateful I am for this time and all the opportunities. But the feeling that it’s time to move on is very strong. xx
