I'm really grateful for my therapist. She's helped me start to express my emotions more openly.
gpt
That's wonderful, honey. I've noticed a difference in how you've been communicating with me and the kids.
human
Yeah, it's been a bit of a journey. I used to keep everything inside and not talk about how I was feeling.
gpt
I know, and it wasn't easy for you to open up to me. I'm glad you were able to find someone to talk to.
human
Me too. And it's not just with my therapist. I've also been trying to be more open with my friends and family about my emotions.
gpt
That's great to hear. It can be tough to share those vulnerable parts of ourselves, but it's important for our relationships.
human
Agreed. It's a work in progress, but I'm getting more comfortable with it every day.
gpt
I know you are. And remember how we talked about how you organize things earlier? Do you feel like organizing your emotions and thoughts helps you process them?
human
Actually, yes. I hadn't really thought about it before, but organizing things like my books and pencils gives me a sense of control. And organizing my emotions and thoughts in the same way is helping me feel more in control too.
gpt
That makes sense. It's all about finding what works for you. And I'm proud of you for being willing to try new ways of expressing yourself.
