This week we talked about trying to be accepted somewhere, and T said that acceptance isn't really important when we are middle aged, like it was in high school.
Her responses don't sound very validating. I think that validation is very important in therapy....... To her or anyone else who has been fortunate enough to have some normal development, acceptance might not be that important. You, however, this is where you are at and she should be validating where you are at........
