I've been there and this is tough stuff to be sure, but no one but us can make these strategies work.

I work VERY hard in therapy, T comments often on how hard I work in therapy to do the right thing, to not bump against boundaries, to be a good client, to be honest, vulnerable and open to the process. T often comments on how strong I am and how well adjusted I appear even in those moments I am falling apart.
Right now, I need to feel safe again. I am trying to discern if "safe" is with or without my T.
