That's *exactly* what I'm talking about. Honoring what happened to me as not pathological per se, but as what made me who I am.
There are some things I do blazingly well, because I had to, but make no mistake, they are considerable assets in my life today.
It's me people, not an end product, it's me!
Therapist just did not get it. I think he had his mind on the holiday break. I was his last client of the day.
To be fair, I was also thinking "Okay, one last thing [the session] and I get a break".
