Maybe talk over this progress with your therapist. Allow yourself to feel pride and gratitude at what you have accomplished, versus what you haven't.
I think it is okay to worry over and feel anxious about going to the doctor for medications. Who wouldn't? I went, but carried my first prescription for prozac in my purse for at least two weeks before I even had it filled. Then it took me several days just to go pick it up.
I gotta say though, prozac helped me a lot.
I think where you are is okay. No it's not perfect and yes you want more, but please do try and look at the good you've done and say "you know, i've done well".
Little baby steps, lots of confidence building and lots of self love.
Peace to you.

That's an interesting way of looking at it, yes I never thought of looking backwards and seeing what I have achieved - thank-you that is definitely something that I shall chew over before my next session as something to focus on.
I am not judging anyone elses decisoin when I say that I am still very resistant to medication - it sort of feels like I would have failed, given in. However I have started some St John s Wort last week and maybe that is a step in accepting that meds can be useful and not something to be feared.
I am sort of looking forward to my next T session, I am hoping I can use some of the things that people have suggested as well as the sense of support, to do my session differently this time.
One of the things that I have been trying to do for weeks, is to sit somewhere different in the T room. I always sit n the corner and become a timid mouse - maybe if I can acheive that the session may feel different.
