First, good luck with your new T. I hope it's a good match.

What a great question for a T to ask... it would catch my off guard in the 1st session too, but I would love it.

First, I would probably lie and say "I'm pretty much in control of everything." because I would hate for the new T to think I'm a mess.

However, if I was actually telling the truth my answers would be....

I don't believe I have full control over anything because unfortunately, the way I go about everything in my life tends to be at the mercy of my moods. However, I am slowly learning how to gain control of things like keeping up on my work (my job, house, school, etc.) By learning to accept that I may never have complete control over my mental status, moods, and feelings, I can slowly learn how to control the behaviors that occur as a result of those things.

How did you answer your T, Smilie?
