Line 11.
„Something missing‟. Anger, + covers pain!
Line 12.
„Resolve pain + anger or never be satisfied‟??
It seems the client is thinking about taking a break from counselling (line 2) perhaps because of
her husband‟s job ending (line 3). The counselling course she is on also seems to be ending (lines
4,5) so it is not surprising that she started the entry with just one word, „Endings‟. It seems that
she feels as if she holding many loose ends (line 6) perhaps because there is a sense of the
unknown in all these endings. She realizes that holding all this together
is tiring and difficult
(line 6) but also that it is how it needs to be (line 7). She appears to feel that there is need to take
care of herself (line 8) or otherwise she may burnout (line 9) as if she is aware that she has more
than enough to deal with at this time. But this is written without the anxiety of previous entries
about taking care of herself as if she is getting used to doing this differently. She writes about the
sadness and dissatisfaction in her marriage (line 10) and seems to think that there is something
missing (line 11) within this relationship. She appears to feel anger and be aware that it covers
pain (line 11) and ends this short sentence with an exclamation mark which makes it feel
powerful. She then seems to exhort herself to resolve this pain and
anger or never be satisfied
(line 12) and with two question marks she makes this a question as if she is telling herself very
firmly to do this. Perhaps this is again about her internal relationships with different aspects of
herself. She may need to „resolve‟ the pain and anger of her abused self in order to lose the
dissatisfaction with herself. It seems possible that it is part of herself that is missing as opposed
to something missing from her marriage.
