Well… After the 1:00 AM incident with the alarm dog, sleep never came. So, I read some more and then listened to music for a while. I think I’m on my third cup of coffee now and feeling like reading Debt of honor is starting to emotionally drag on me a bit. “It’s not fun right now!”
So, I’m thinking I might table that one for a little while and switch off to something else. I could reread Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss, or perhaps the new book I picked up called Mindwise by Nicholas Epley. Since November I’ve already read Supercommunicators by Charles Duhigg, The Greatness Guide Book 2 by Robin Sharma, The Greatness Guide by Robin Sharma, It’s Not Always Depression by Diana Fosha, How to Break Up with Your Phone by Catherine Price, Building a Life Worth Living by Marsha M. Linehan, and DBT Made Simple by Sheri Van Dijk. I tracked down most of these titles on my own because it would seem that only one therapist, I met actually had book referrals for me when I asked. “How does that work?”
Oh well! No one will ever honestly say I’m not a self-starter, “That’s for damn sure.”
I’m just looking for techniques that will help if not augment the ones I already know. I was doing good for so many years. Or at least I thought I was. Of course, next time I’m awake at three in the morning I could just type, “The Mental Health Profession sucks,” a thousand times. But that probably wouldn’t help at this point either.
Besides, there are a few good therapists out there. It’s just that the majority of the assholes I’ve met make the few good ones look bad along the way. Anyhow, moving on from that topic because I’ve had no sleep all night and honestly, “I know now isn’t the time to go down that rabbit hole again!”
