Thanks Twinleaf,
I was also reflecting on my progress, although I don't tend to see it. Partly due to some things my t said in therapy on Monday and partly due to some things a professor I spoke to about going back to school.
And in part due to your post. I have watched so many here progress and discuss where they are in therapy. The stages if you will, and I am slowly realizing where I am in therapy. My t knows how often I come here. he knows I discuss things here I don't feel I get resolved with him. If he has a thought about it one way or another he doesn't share it with me. He just nods his head when I tell him what I have posted about or read about. But I talked to him often about my Babble world but when I feel it is important.
I have lately gotten more courage to tell him when I feel he has let me down, or when I open up to him and he doesn't address it enough. Like last week.
I have noticed I have a problem hanging on to my good feelings he gives me. All in all, he is helping. I just have a hard time hanging on to the good he does me. But I remember so many Babblers talking about so, I recognize this, too is a stage and I will progress through it.
I have my ups and downs. But through them, I still do things that are good for me despite my down feelings at the time. I stop sitting in front of the TV. I go exercise, I take a walk. I come to Babble. I do versus stew. So I must start thinking about that in terms of progress.
Thanks for this response. I am thrilled I helped you and you must know how you always help me!
