Therapy Bits

Lindas word for the stream of consciousness prompt last weekend was val. We had to find a word with val in it and write on it.
Im sassy, im 13 years old, one of the teens in our system.
I thought I’d write for this weeks stream of consciousness prompt, I have the perfect topic to write on as well, so here goes.

Our therapist is so validating. Today she said its so important for the teens to be heard. My ears pricked up when she said that to us. I was feeling so validated by her words.
She said that the teen parts are valuable, and have a valuable contribution to make in our system. I didnt realise we did. I mean, the adults dont really listen to us. They are too interested in what is going on for the kids, and for themselves, so we get forgotten.
It hurts. I feel sad and hurt when we are forgotten.
Eileen helped us to make a space inside just for the teens, its a big common area, we put couches in there, bean bags, a flat screen tv, a stereo, and a computer.
It looks so nice. I know when I feel stressed I can go there and things will be ok.
eileen encouraged us to write to her this week, and i did earlier this afternoon. I like her.
She told me today that she was once a teen too a very long time ago hahaha, and she knows that teens have attitude, she said that to me because emily said I had attitude.
I just love eileen. She’s so good to us and I really appreciated that she wanted to hear from me today, and even when we were almost finished our session, and I’d gone back inside, she kept asking, how is sassy doing?
It was so nice. It feels nice to be thought about, and to be loved. I am important too in our system, I need to remember that.
Love, Sass Xx
