> Congratulations! Did you tell your therapist about this insight? Was she pleased? Or, let me ask that a different way, did she tell you how pleased she was and how proud she was of you? I'm sure she was both pleased and proud, even if she didn't tell you directly. Whoohoo! Party for Ms Woolf!
I'm trying to think of a way to phrase this without rubbing anyone the wrong way--but I don't think I would want a therapist to be proud of me. It seems somehow patronizing. (I think that is because I desperately need to be regarded as an equal.)
Remember, I'm something of a therapy outsider.
