Mayo: Glad you had a good session. I think your T was probably just trying to give you a choice. Perhaps he just feels you are doing really well! Glad you got a hug, sounds like it was nice.

Starfish: Oh yes, the blame the guilt the feeling like we are doing it wrong. I am very well acquainted with those feelings. In my struggle to find the balance and correct pacing of therapy, I often bump into those feelings of not doing it right and feeling inherently wrong in everything that I do and everything that I am. Usually at those points, my T and I end up having a session specifically talking about pacing and just checking in with how therapy is going rather than getting into any major issues. It usually helps. You will get there and in the meantime we will all be here to walk with you through this.
