My T always managed to make things better, but I had to take that first step of doing something different and not running away when I felt the relationship might be screwed up.

Just this once, maybe you could try something different too...maybe you could try turning things over to your T and asking her to help you fix whatever it is you think you messed up and help you learn how to change that behavior. If you keep running everytime you think you've messed up, you'll never learn how to not run away.

Thinking of you, and hoping you can work through this.
I've been re-reading people's responses to me this morning and for some reason yours hit me in a different way.

I think I might try turning things over to T, like you suggested, and ask her to help me get out of this rut of always blaming myself. It isn't T that is making me feel like I did anything wrong- not at all! It's definetly me- and it wears me down. I think she's been trying in her consistant patient way to help me understand it, but until now, I don;t think I even had an inkling of what she's been doing along those lines.

Why, or why, is it so hard for me to see things like this?

Thanks BR- I once again am appreciating your words today.
Thanks for this!
