Counseling

This afternoon, Rachel met with a counselor for the first time. Although she's getting better, going to bed, school, dance, play at friend's houses, she still has a lot of fear that something is going to happen to me, therefore doesn't want to be apart from me. She's OK sometimes, but not always. The counselor gave her some assignments to do, and she'll go back next week, to see how she's doing on her assignments. Rachel has fear about something happening to other people too. Like last week she dreamt that Pat died. She was upset about it, and talked about her dream a lot, but in no way did she freak out like if I left the house or she went to bed or something. I'm praying counseling will help her see that she's not alone with her fears and that everyone has them and its normal, and that she learns how to handle them. I "need" her to get better, or I'm going to "go" insane.
