Counseling

I've now had two counseling sessions, and they've been good. Obviously we haven't really started working on me yet, it's just get-to-know-me stuff, but I feel like she's a good fit, easy to talk to and meeting me where I'm at. So we'll see how this goes.

I had to laugh, though, at one thing she said. Justine has been unofficially counseling me when we've been alone at work together the last couple times, asking me all sorts of questions in very counselor-y ways, 'So why do you think this is?' 'How do you feel about...?' After the first or second time of her doing this, she said, 'You use the word 'fit' a lot. That you don't fit.' And now my counselor, as we wrapped up the second session, said, 'It seems like you've never quite felt like you fit.' I didn't realize I had been saying that to her or that I had said things that would imply it, other than that I feel more comfortable in Europe. Apparently that's one issue that's just obvious.
