jim not doing well. has increased drinking to a dangerous level. i sat in on his last visit with his shrink. i think she is getting somewhere with jim. she senses the jim can only give and for him to take brings on guilt and worry based on shame and lack of self worth. he said in the session today, "i can be selfish." she ask jim to describe times he is selfish. im said, "when i buy things for himself and when i works out at the gym." i think jim agreed but in his head he was bothered that if she was right he would have to start asking for more and taking care of himself and that is terrifying to jim.
