Theraputic Community
I started the Theraputic Community yesterday, it was not quite what I had expected. I dont really know what I did expect but it was less structured than I thought.
I did seem to see references to my own life, thoughts and situation in a lot of what people said.
On the way home I was reading a book "the Lighthouse" by PD James. Not exactly brilliant but for just a couple of chapters lines just seened to keep jumping out at me and resonate with my thoughts and mood.
pg42 "she felt threatened by the power of his will"
pg56 "Like all beauty, it both solaced and disturbed"
There was another line about solitude causing introspection but I cant find it now.
Today I felt very uncomfortable. There was a lot of tension and unspoken aggression between 3 of the folks. I actually felt so uncomfortable I thought about going home. In the afternoon this actually escalated to verbal aggression and I was thinking "If it's like this every day I dont think I'll be back!" Elaine the Art therapist must have noticed how uncomfortable I felt c os she brought it up just before we left.
Tomorrow is psychodrama so I think i'm looking forward to it - maybe!
