That's exactly the role of therapy, to talk about things as many times and we need to and want to. There is no timeline, there is no 'one way' or perfect way to do therapy.

There is instruction manual.

You're doing fine

We make changes when we are ready. It's a process that allows that to happen and it takes whatever it takes.

You are so judgmental and punishing toward yourself.
Thanks for this!
