Unexpected leaving

I started my therapy late last year upon the recommendation of my doctor. I really did not know what to expect again since I have already gone to that road six years ago.

This time around, we let go of the breathing exercises. We focused more on the production of voice. I must say that I really have learned a lot. I do try to practice what we do in the sessions in everyday life.

This morning, we did some drills as usual and we also did something new. It's question and answer. No more reading. No preparation. Just spontaneity while trying to think about all the techniques. Some of the questions were weird and some were okay. I babbled a few times since I did really know how to expound my answers. But I guess it's okay. I really am more of a writer than a speaker.

Anyway, after the q and a, my doctor told me that she was already willing to let me go. Straight to the point. No clues. No hints. I was surprised. I was not sure of what to feel at that moment.

She said that I am able to apply what we have been learning if I just focus more. She said that for the next days, my improvement will all be up to myself.

It feels great that I know what to do already but I really didn't want the sessions to end just yet! We're meeting on the 28th of Feb for "maintenance". But still.

I do hope that I remember it all! I read the Timekeeper out loud a while ago. I plan on doing that method until I finish the book. Funny (and cool) that the technique stays with me after a while. I got a little sleepy though so I rested.

Though I will apply the techniques in conversation, I will still make it a point that I read out loud at the end of the day.

Such bittersweet!
