Talking About It

I saw my therapist tonight. I asked her whether she'd been busy, if everyone had wanted to talk about the terror attacks for the last two weeks. She said that the first week, a lot of people cancelled their appointments, but that the second week, everyone came and wanted to talk about it.

People are talking about it. It was very quiet at first, I noticed. With just a few exceptions, I didn't talk to anyone on the phone or get e-mail from many people for the first week or ten days. But in the last few days my friends have been writing me again, wanting to talk about it more. It seems like a lot of people have been working through the grief and depression and now are getting to the place where they need to communicate and connect.

I can understand that. I feel the same way.
