and that I didn't have insight and he wasn't sure I could ever change, and if I did commit to it (which he doubted) it would be a long, hard road and my T had her work cut out for her!  
Other things he said were very direct and cutting and he minced no words but I could take them because I could see the truth....these things were hurtful. But then I have realized I don't have to own all his words....and thankfully my T didn't think I had to own all of them either, especially the no insight thing!  |
He is an idiot!!!!
As for the mask - most people do to some extent..... and its not always a bad thing...
The conventional thinking is that we all have to manage BP with meds as therapy/skills alone are not enough....
Most people don't have insight when they are diagnosed and it is a long hard road for everyone (and who is he to say you won't commit to it - however unfortunately most people don't change)
So maybe he was just stupid in the way he said things that are generalities and made them about you rather than all of us...
