Thanks, I think I definitely need to speak with her. I feel she might be too apprehensive about help me with my OCPD since she is still learning the trade. I'm worried that she doesn't think it's worth her time. I only say that because as much as I say I need help with my perfectionism, I really just wish that the rest of the world would hold themselves to a higher standard. I think that's one of the big differences between OCD and OCPD...those with OCD are able to acknowledge that their obsessions are irrational, or go above a beyond typical worries, but with my OCPD, I honestly don't think that doing something perfect is wrong, in fact, I don't even see it as doing something perfect, I just see at is doing something the way it SHOULD be done (which means to the best of my ability). I do recognize that my perfectionism is the cause of my troubles, but somehow I can't get my brain to accept doing anything less than perfect work, so when the therapist from a previous semester asked me to limit how much time I spent on each slide (of a power point presentation), I wound up with totally incomplete slides - it's like I just can't seem to recognize when I am taking too much time on something. I think that may be why my current therapist has been "ignoring" my OCPD, it's probably not easy for her, or anybody, to think of how to help a person who can't see that what they are doing is unreasonable.
