Ugh, I just had an extra phone session with my T this morning (we are on opposite coasts.)

He is pushing me to push myself more. I'm phobic of driving but manage to get to work, shopping, dr.'s and errands but beyond that I'm frozen. Also, social anxiety--trying to get myself to get out there more. He wants me to focus on my health and self-care more---If I hear the virtues of a daily workout again i'll scream.

Today I feel like "old stuff" is making me feel needy. He wasn't in an indulgent mood, he was more "life coach" than "T" today. I should appreciate the pushing but I just want to feel cared for for a few days before tackling this crap. Sometimes I wish we would revisit "old stuff" but sometimes I think he sees limited value in discussing the past, which is strange to say about a T.

When you are pushed by T, are you able to do the work? Right now, I'm not
