It was worth every heartache I had to go through by reliving those things. I still have more to work through, but I have come a very long way! Talking about my everyday life is proving to be hard as well. I keep thinking that the things I say are not that important, yet she sees them as major things. Don't really get that, but I am trusting her that this is an important stage of my therapy progress.

I think you must be really good at therapy if you had all those break throughs. I'm not that good at it. I felt a few break throughs in couples therapy, but never in individual therapy. I guess it must work differently for everyone. I'm trying not to expect big changes or break throughs now and just appreciate whatever little helpful comments I hear. I think that's good your therapist wants to talk about present and past with you.
