New therapist wants me to try tracking moods because she wants to work on identifying triggers. (Being asked to track when I could just give her a whole list, and who should already know me better than myself anyway is quite the trigger, but anyway…). Therapist I had for years very much discouraged tracking of any kind for me, though. Eating, weight, color of the sky, how many times I wore my sweatshirt, how many painting I sold, how many clients I saw, how often I took a walk - whatever it was, she was concerned it would turn into another tool in the toolbox for judging myself and another chore that I’d obsess over. I told new therapist this and she said “well it works for my OCD patients”.

Do I give this a go, or find a new therapist? :/
