And then it led to how I have so much negative self-talk....my internal critic puts me down SO often....and T explained to me how it may sound like my voice, but what I'm saying doesn't fit. It's what's been told to me before, that has become ingrained in me....and that I need to recognize it as such.

T felt as though we accomplished a lot.

It sounds like you had a really good - although difficult - session. It took a lot of effort on your part, and you should feel good about yourself. But now you're focusing on one aspect of the whole thing that you feel is negative! Yes, you're right to try to work out this one comment, but I hope you see that your "internal critic" is hard at work here trying to overshadow feeling good about yourself, and what you accomplished.
We follow these internal scripts we have, that were written years ago, and they are SO TOUGH to rewrite!!! But the more we recognize them, the easier it is to see that them for what they are - learned behavior that can be changed.
I hope you try to focus more on what you accomplished, and how you're getting stronger, and learn that it's OK to feel good about yourself.
