I think its a balance. thats what we need. although, i'm in the same boat. i think u r meeting your needs by asking for what you need. However, I think the growth can only have its foundation once you are able to meet many of those needs on your own. Like, the point of therapy is to teach us how to use any skill we gain inside of therapy and use that same skill outside of therapy. If we only work on those skills inside of therapy, idk if we can really call it therapy any more? cus, thats the point of it. idk if that made sense. if not, scratch it. just tryin to offer support!
