Try to relax. Focus on your therapy. Focus on your studies. You'll see clearly soon enough. And, also, I'd say anyone in their right mind should have self-doubts. That is honesty and honesty is refreshing.

Sometimes too much self-confidence could be translated into a bit of arrogance and I sure would never want to work with a therapist who had never doubted themselves.

Good luck.
Thank you so much, skysblue. I do see what you mean about it not being appropriate to have a T evaluating your abilities. Maybe I'm getting carried away in worrying about what she thinks. I think I need to do some serious soul-searching to figure things out.
