Something tells me that you would have a hard time identifying those things
!!!!! and may I say...!!!!!
Just an hour ago my other counselor was saying self-esteem is measured by work; your life's work, if not literally how much you work. By that measure I should have exactly 0% self esteem. She also said my ex therefore had no respect for me, but that he thrived on that as well. He made sure to foster my insecurity and then attack me for it. She said if I had stayed with him I surely would not have ever done my 'life's work'.
Well I wish I had exited that relationship with a bang instead of a whimper. They say success is the greatest revenge--I would just love to be so busy with my new life that I didn't notice his pathetic emails, and have it get back to him somehow. But that is a dim dream.
Yes, I could think about part time work. Any work would be huge step for me.
Thanks for the cheers--I don't think my therapist is so good at that. I'll have to ask him about that confidence thing.
