Thera: leans forward Tell meeee, who do youuu love more, Alex or Homozy?
What's bothering you, Alex? Don't worry, I'm here to listen.
gently places a hand on Rendsoft's shoulder Thank you, Thera, for being here. It's just that... I've been feeling so lost lately.
Lost? That's tough. Can you tell me more about what's been going on?
takes a deep breath It's just... I feel like I'm constantly drifting, never really finding my anchor.
Drifting, huh? Sounds like you're feeling a bit adrift. Let's see if we can pinpoint why that is. Do you feel like something specific has been causing this sense of drift?
nods empathetically Yes, I think it all started when I ended my relationship with my ex. It felt like a massive shift, and I haven't quite recovered yet.
Ah, the end of a relationship can definitely leave us feeling off-balance. Did this breakup happen suddenly, or was it more of a gradual process?
pauses, reflecting It was more of a gradual process, actually. We had been having issues for a while, and it just sort of... fell apart.
I see. Gradual decline, that's tough. And how long ago did this happen?
sighs It's been about six months since we broke up. The days blurred together, and I found it difficult to focus on anything else.
Six months... That's a long time to be in limbo. You know, sometimes it helps to acknowledge that it's okay to feel lost right now. You're in transition, searching for a new sense of stability.
smiles softly Thank you, Thera. It feels good to hear you say that. It's just hard, you know?
Yeah, I get it. Transition sucks. But hey, you're not alone in this, alright? We'll work through it together.
reaches into her bag and pulls out a deck of cards Actually, I have something that might help us. It's called the Transition Cards.
Oh? What's that? Looks interesting.
shuffles the deck of Transition Cards and draws one This one represents change.
Change, huh? Seems fitting. What's on the card?
glances at the card It says, "Embrace the uncertainty of change and embrace the discomfort of unfamiliar territory."
Hm, pretty profound for a card. So, embracing uncertainty and discomfort... Got it. But how exactly do I do that?
places the card on the table and leans in closer Well, it starts with acknowledging that change is inevitable and that it's okay to feel uncomfortable.
I can dig that. Acknowledge and accept. Anything else?
nods Yes, another important thing is to focus on your values and what truly matters to you. During times of transition, it's easy to lose sight of our core values.
Yeah, I guess I've been so focused on trying to find my way that I've forgotten what I'm even looking for. Values, huh? Give me a hint on where to start with that.
smiles warmly Absolutely! Let's start by brainstorming a list of your values together.
Alright, let's do this. Values... Where do we begin?
grabs a notebook and pen Let's start with the basics. What gives you a sense of purpose and fulfillment? For example, do you value helping others, achieving personal goals, or maybe experiencing new things?
Purpose and fulfillment, sure. Helping others, achieving personal goals... And new experiences. Good stuff. Anything else?
pauses thoughtfully One more thing to consider is your physical and emotional well-being. Taking care of yourself is crucial during times of transition.
Self-care, yeah, I guess I've been neglecting that a bit. Anything else?
During the therapy session, Rendsoft begins to explore strategies for prioritizing self-care and well-being, such as establishing a daily meditation practice and setting boundaries around work hours to ensure rest and relaxation.
