I like what you wrote. I have re-read it several times. It rings possible for me ... so that's encouraging.
My therapist asked me a similar question on Monday, if I felt stronger in 'real life'. I answered that I felt more grounded and more sure of myself in answering 'what is true right now?' .... By that I mean, when my husband gets upset, I ask myself that question 'what is true?'. And I find I can respond in kind. Especially with my husband, I find that he is skilled in dumping his garbage on my lap and flipping a disagreement to something different.
Social situations are slowly improving. I do hear my therapist's voice telling me that others do not see me as my mom treated me. There is still a gap in what I feel and what I know ... and that will take time to bridge.
It's a long road. And I'm glad I found friends on this site to help me stay the course.
