Well, yeah, that's part of what they do - try to get us moving towards change. If they see someplace where we are stuck they'll do everything to make sure we're too uncomfortable to sit there and get more stuck. And it is scary and stressful, and they know that (IMO, most of the best therapists have been through it themselves), but we have to face that fear and work through it because if we don't, we'll keep on being stuck and nothing changes.

I'm familiar with that pushing you're talking about. I'm there too, and sometimes I fight and have a really bad attitude and just keep resisting, but I'm trying to trust my therapist and move forward into unfamiliar territory. It's what you have to do if you're going to get better. There is a such thing as pushing too fast, so talk about it if you think it's going too fast for you, but be willing to take a step forward.
