anyways i deal with change badly and slowly
even tiny amounts of change
the counselor told me that the professional treatment for personality disorders, is dialectical behavioral therapy
and that is, what, one hundred bucks an hour?
the insurance stops paying for counseling, as of november this year
or maybe the counselor was just overmarketing counseling.
like the

Snuggie

the blanket that was also a coat/jacket
the advertisement made it look like not having a Snuggie was a huge problem
and having a snuggie was awesome.
thus exaggerating the value of a snuggie.
same with counseling. the counselor told me that she has never seen me "angry" before but if i do get "angry", then "we will deal with it."
wtf?
35 years old.
the first counselor i saw was when i was sixteen.
there are only five emotions: happy, sad, angry, surprised, scared.
one in five emotions is angry.
she acted like i knew how to deal with anger zero percent. and she acted like she knew how to deal with anger one hundred percent.
but it is more like i am at five percent and she is at ten percent.
anger is an emotion.
not a catastrophe.
not even an event.
any more than happiness is an event
seriously i am uncomfortable with all emotions, not just anger
for the counselor to tell me what she told me sounded a bit condescending
but yes i know she meant well and all that stupid BS

there are good "how to" books on dialectical behavioral therapy. might be more challenging on your own, but worth a try.
