Sally is dead on. There has to be a balance. Therapy, IMO, can't just be about supporting us in our decisions, but helping us understand why we make them. Sometimes that involves taking a very very hard look at ourselves.

It happens occasionally that we don't care much for what we see and some of our choices. It's okay. That's why we do it. To improve ourselves.

All in all, when I think of the people that have helped me the most, it's those that have the ability to push me to be better, AND, help me to love myself right where I am.

If it's all one or the other, believe me, I would run.
