Corey's Summary of a Multiple Day (5)

Yesterday was a pretty good day.  We did some writing, went to work, went to Dr. M's., then came home, ate and after about 20 minutes, fell asleep.  We were only up once during the night and slept this morning until about 3:15 am.   

We figure the writing is going pretty good.  There is still a lot of rereading over what is being committed to the journals.  We need to reassure ourselves that it will be ok, though sometimes it just makes us feel good.  It's always good to comprehend one's thoughts. Hmm, another thing I do know about rereading. It seems pretty common for us to be reading from the perceived perspectives of external others.  

At work, we helped other people, especially staff.  Hehehe like figurin out telephone bills, incident reports, and little autumn banners for a group's art project.  In general, we are in the role of being a listener and problem solver to other peoples' problems.  We also took the minutes for the quarterly Behavioral Management/Human Rights Meeting.  There is a psychiatrist, a parent, a counselor from the high school that feeds into our center, Sr. Tess, the other Q, and me.  We feel embarrassment by the lack of professionalism of the other Q.  She dominates the meeting, parrots Sr. Tess, and expels a plethora of complaints about the individuals served.

Dr. M sent us an email of what had happened during that meeting.  It seems we talked of work, talked about pre-verbal parts being out (most likely Gracie), then Casey, Dear Heart, and KC were each out.  Very confusing.  I understand the general pressures of work, we know that pre-verbal parts get triggered out, we're feeling bad for Casey who doesn't seem to understand that she was sexually abused, and we're proud of KC for being able to walk us out of the office on time. 

We're most worried about Dear Heart.  Dr. M. says she was profoundly affected by pain in her body.  We're figurin that we got bumped and some more rocks tumbled down on her head.
