What if you need attention from someone and you need someone to complain to? I don't always make progress or cooperate. LCM once asked me how she was helping me and I told her she is someone I can feel safe talking to and makes me feel like I have someone in the world who will care and listen. She said that is really important for me to have. Isn't that important for everyone to have? It's so much easier to find the bad/unpleasant stuff in life. Everyone has to start somewhere. Maybe not believing it's possible to change and just enjoying having someone to listen once a week is a good start, even if it lasts years.

I dunno. I'm just really happy my T's are patient and kind with me when I sometimes reject their help and whine like a teenager who was just asked to do something by their mother. I need some space to be obnoxious so the good stuff feels safe to come out.
