When I got home, I showed the assignment to my husband. He said, "What is wrong with that?" Then he started laughing and said, "This is exactly what you do!"

My husband and your husband should go bowling!! He has been telling me I take things too personally for years. Of course he was right for a long time, but I am much better about it now. But even though I have changed he still want to make my reaction to anything as "taking it personally" even if my reaction has nothing to do with that. So, just so you know, you may change as a result of therapy but your husband may lag behind and see you through the same old "lens." So, if that happens, give him a swift kick in the arse! Just kidding...point out to him that he needs to learn about the new you.

BTW I love how you are writing the story of your therapy. It will be great for people who are new to therapy to read about your struggles and not feel so "crazy" and alone. Way to go!
