I understand how that feels and then it seems weird to say aloud because then the T thinks you don't want to get better

which I'm sure is not the case. My fear is my T says I'm better and I think well, I guess i must be better then. But I'm not and I cycle back through alone. And I'm fearful of being alone because my Sui scares me soooooo it's kind of a serious thing.
Sometimes I think some Ts feel like they have to show progress somehow. Well, they prob do to managers or ins. companies or whatever.
But a smile is good

It doesn't mean you don't need help.
