EV-- I think asserting my voice would be a good thing to work on---- I just wish someone else could tell him that's what I need---- Something always seems to hold me back when considering making a "request"-- it's like I don't have the right to request-- or something like that...

Sleeps-- I can understand how that must have felt hearing that someone else didn't see you doing as "well" as you thought you were. but hey-- good for you inseeing that you WERE doing your best-- and that's what I'm going to have to hold on to-- I'm doing my best (I really am)-- even if it's not at the pace my T. would like to see. ( I do have this horrible fear that he will say --- "If you can't do any better than that... then there's no reason for you to be here" )
You could be a shrink-- -- you are just as good and even better than a lot of them, I bet!!!

Pegasus-- Oh-- you are in a good place to trust your T., I think I'm still struggling with that one. You know-- I've heard that and kind of forgot about it-- that the tapes I hear are out of date and not relevant--- thanks for reminding me of that-- it's true... but it is so very hard not to listen and trust those tapes. And "looking after myself"-- yes that's a much better way to look at it-- thank you!!

Thanks for all your replies-- I appreciate every one of them!
