Thanks, guys. You brought up some good points.
Mair - I'm sooo glad that I'm not the only one that is feeling the same way. I really question what good therapy is doing, but my husband and monther-in-law say they have seen improvements. I wish you luck with your struggles.
Eddie - I am well aware of my flawed thoughts. Problem is, my feelings defy my rational thoughts. It really doesn't sink in so I think that changing feelings is my big issue, not changing thought. I don't know how to work with that in therapy.
Sylvia - I have told my therapist to be tougher on me in the past, but she is really scared of driving me out of therapy. At times when I would dig into a tough issue, she'd congratulate me and say that she feels comfortable with pushing me more, but it doesn't seem like she does.
I guess the thing I have to do on Friday when I see her is to tell her what I told you guys. I would really like more guidance from her.
