Improving I think you are right! Yes, I would have to say that he is continuously teaching me by saying stuff aloud. He is a really good t for me. Some clients might not have to neccessarily learn new behaviors and stuff but just need to process things in their minds. And then there are people like myself that have to do more learning. I hate being in that catagory. Sometimes I post things on here that don't seem so crazy to me but get a reaction from pcers. T's going to bring in a human development book to therapy tomorrow. Maybe that will help.
