I think this is a such an important realization. Next time, will you say "no"? Reading that made me realize that I have learned to be authentic with my T in therapy and not say things I don't mean, almost to the nth degree. Recently, I was in session and I did say one of these little things that was not really true and it really felt wrong, like it jangled in our space of authenticity. There were times earlier on in therapy when I would say one of those things and then correct myself, "no, that's not really true." I was on the path but not quite there with T. Now my challenge is to bring more of that authenticity to my other relationships and my whole way of being in the world. For me, it is very exciting to be at this point. I feel more like "me" now than I ever have.
