Super. If you have resolve - use it, exploit it.

Personal observation: therapists tend to have a "progress bias" - they pay far more attention to signs of progress than other signs. I guess it's validating for them. This bias, or set of blinders, can interfere with effective treatment.
I personally have trouble not relating to my pdoc and doctors as authority figures to please. In reality, they are there to serve me, not me them, but that's not the bent of my personality. You, your loved ones and your needs are the ones to serve.
As above, if you're having a day of logorrhea, let it flow! Let "it" come out. Later you can sift through the mess for the good stuff. (Pardon the imagery...
