I think of work in therapy as being something that is hard to do. Like talking about painful topics and exploring what you need to heal. Sharing what hurts despite being hurt again by the experience. Making yourself vulnerable--no easy feat. Trying to consider things in a different light despite having thought about them a certain way for decades. Wanting to move forward when it's less painful to sit still.

Hmmm.... this is helpful, actually. My T said that there is going to be a lot of hard work ahead, and I'm trying to wrap my head around what that work will look like. I think we've dabbled in lots of what you mentioned above already, but there is lots more to deal with.

My T tells me I try to make her do all the work.

Yes, I know I do this to my T a lot as well. I think that is part of this process for me - moving from wanting her to have the answers and do the work -> to me doing the work to find the answers with her help.
