So , at our session this week T asked me "What I want out of therapy". For some reason I'm having a really hard time answering her question. When she asked, I replied "Well, that's a loaded question , it's kinda like asking me what I want out of life...because therapy is about improving your life..."

I asked her to give me the week to answer her, told her that I'd need some time and maybe to write a few things down. Thing is , I don't know how to put it on paper. It's like I know therapy is good for me...and even with everything we've been through in that room (good and bad) I would never take it back, I'm so glad I made the choice to stay when I didn't "have to".

I told her "I can tell you what therapy has done for me...but I don't know how to express what I want out of it." I don't feel like it should be this hard. I don't know why I can't just give it some thought and answer the question. I just know being in therapy had done good things for me, so I stay.

Anyone have any ideas how I might go about answering this question?
