My therapist loves to normalize as well, and I've always hated it. I've taken to asking him, when he does it, that if I'm doing so well, why is it that he thinks I need therapy?

That achieves two ends. First, he thinks before he normalizes so that he makes sure he doesn't do it in a way that will cause me to ask that question.

And second, he answers the "why therapy" in such a way that I don't end up feeling more guilty about going, or fear that he's going to think I'm too well to see him.

I also ask the question from time to time if I'm taking up space that other people might need more than I do.
