FZ, I wasn't sure if you were serious in your post either, because to me, therapy is much more than learning to be genuinely honest with someone. So I wasn't sure if you were kidding or not about thinking you would be done with therapy once you learned to be honest. Maybe that would indeed be it for you--we all have different goals and needs in therapy. For anyone's therapy, though, I do agree with Kiya's list that being honest with oneself and one's therapist will help the process. If you can be honest, then I think you can make much swifter progress.

This is one from the list that I really liked. I am very conflict avoidant, so there is a part of me that feels any conflict with the therapist (or others in my life) could have dire consequences. Just because there is a disagreement doesn't mean it is the end of the world--that sounds so simple, but it has not been something I have truly felt or understood. Still working on it...
