Life is a process. Progress is a process. Can you see it as a little more grey? Maybe you can use this time to let some of the rest of us get to know emotional you a little better. There are more choices than you see.
Perhaps there is a way to accept AND limit at the same time. Sort of like feelings just ARE, but you can control your actions. It seems like you try to deny the feelings in order to control the actions. They really are separate. But I think that it may take some time and practice to be able to "do" that.
You haven't let us down. You are living your life. You have listened to us and considered what we are saying, and decided that you aren't quite ready to changes therapists yet. That is a valid choice. And all this time you are learning.
We do love you, Dinah.
Falls.
