Going to my first TA conference
From a week from now, I will be headed for my first TA, Transactional Analysis, conferense in San Francisco, CA, USA.
Kahless asked me to blog a bit about it.
I got introduced to TA when I was 26 years old. I needed therapy because I was very depressed. I couldn't stop crying back then, and no one's help really helped me. I remember the day I said, " I need professional help".
Gladly I met a TA therapist, and I'm yet his client.
Through my therapy, I got interested in psycholgy and how humans' brains function.
After a couple of years that I immigrated in the USA, I decided to go to school and study psychology.
I'm excited about it the conference a lot. Not only because that it's my first TA conference, but also that I will have the opportunity to interact with people who are caring, and in a nurturing environment.

When things go wrong
I just got back home from a strange experience.
I went to the public coin laundry earlier to do some thing and stop feeling like I'm a loser since I do not have or meet many friends. So there is this guy walking out side. I thought that was cool while waiting for my clothes to get dried why not talking to someone? So I go ahead and start talking. He was funny and made me laugh a lot. He did impress me with how well he figured my name or where I am from and by knowing a bit Arabic. He works in an Irish pub. so far so good.
Then here comes ; "Are you married?" he asks me. "no" I say.
" How come an attratctive woman like is not married?"
"That's the question many people ask me"
"you have nice legs, pretty face, you're fun and attractive; you have it all what men would like"
"Thanks; that is a nice complement"
Now, I'm in the mood that this guy can be a great friend. He is in the mood to date me.
" May be we can have some coffee some time" he asks.
"sure"
"So can I get your phone number?"
"yes"
After I give him my number; he says" you know, I'm really attracted to you, and I think you are to me"
"oh no!" I thought, then said " I think we can be good friends to catch up with some time to time"
"But, I'm attracted to you. like I like kissing you may be in 5 years along?do you understand what I mean"
"No, I don't think so", I say.
now, I hope he doesn't call.

something to ponder
She always had this belief "if I'm fat, I'm a loser".
Being a loser would generalize in all fields, especially in attracting a mate.
She gets the guy
They have the fun.

Invisible abused Child
She never was beaten up, sexually assaulted or so forth as many abused Children were during their childhood, in her case while a child, she saw children being abused.
she very much understood the concept of being invisible, not seen.
For years, she was the one who wouldn't take the risk to go a bit further of what she illude she was allowed to. For years, she never talked with her classmates or people cos if she did, she was bad and deserved a punishment while she didn't want to be punished.
