I asked my husband the other day if he thought therapy had helped me. If he had seen progress. His answer, "It's hard to say." That sounded like a "no" to me. He really didn't offer much else, perhaps because he was afraid to hurt my feelings? I didn't press him.
But it got me thinking. I feel that I've made progress, at least in my thoughts and feelings. I've learned to better sort out what's what, and I don't project as much as I used to. That makes it easier for me to interact with others without feeling all muddled up with complications that don't really need to be there. I feel simpler. Lighter.
Now, I'm not sure how much of this shows in behavior. And of course, there have been ups and downs.
Hmm, maybe my husband only really has one criteria: finishing the D-word. If so, that's rather narrow of him.
Anyone else in this dilemma? You feel better, but others don't think therapy has helped?
Anyone noticed changes in me here? (Okay, clearly I still need external validation). :)
