I very much minimize things....until it gets to the point where I can't anymore, and I meltdown. I'm working on it, but it's definitely a work in progress.

I've told my T more than once that I don't deserve to be in therapy, that I should be able to handle my issues on my own, that things are "just the way they are and I should just learn to deal with it." Fortunately, my T disagrees with me, points out that I do deserve to be in therapy, and that just because I think something "should be" doesn't mean it "is".
