Today at 3:30 pm Will had his session with Christina. In the beginning we finished up on intake and them began working on a list of goals. Will wants to tell her about his paranormal abilities but is afraid. I don't know how to help him other than just be supportive. We spoke alittle about co-dependence and how he does not like being alone. Christina suggested him trying to do something like taking a walk or just getting out of the apartment alone. I agree. He worries about where I am when I walk out the door. We still have alot of fear issuse to work through

His mother called to asked about the session as well as him filing for SSI and he had to make an excuse. He thinks he may be able to get himself strong enough to go back to work. This of course would be the best road to take since it will mend his self esteem issues and allow him to feel productive.

Therapy

Today was Will's first session in Therapy. Christina is quite nice and willing to allow me in with him during his sessions until he feels comfortable enough to handle it alone. Much of the session was intake information and defining goals. One important one is him getting his self-worth back and being his own person again. When I first met him he had started being himself and learning to say no, but somewhere along the past three years he fell back into feeling worthless and self defeating. I think losing the store had quite alot to do with it. I really wish there was a way we could open another. I know how much he enjoyed running it and making the products. The problem is as usual money. I can only try to be supportive with him and help him through this.
