That's what I told my current t - I've been patiently showing up all these years ( with previous ts) - do I need to start complaining? Fine - consider this as me complaining. I have to admit tho - I did not do, until relatively recently, the one thing every t told me to do, which was to stop communicating with my family while I was in therapy. Because they said they would work with me during the week, then I would see the family on the weekend and the ts felt like they had to start over from the beginning. I finally stopped communicating about 3 years ago, and I am finally seeing progress.

Btw, I think you need to be ambitious in your field. I remember my first year chemistry class in college - it was so competitive, people would practically break your arm before a test for an advantage. I found it horrible!
