I was talking on the phone with my T last week and he said he couldn't help me with a particular problem of mine because he just doesn't know how. He said he could help me get to the root of the problem but as for overcoming it he would refer me to a group. I have a problem with compulsive overeating. He said that I need to have confidence in myself that I can not do it and until then he can't help me. I was kind of shocked that he said that because I guess I figured he walked on water and could help me with anything I needed help on. I see him this afternoon for therapy and he's supposed to give me some contact number of some groups I can get into so when the urge comes I can have someone to help me through it.

I have been thinking about his comments all weekend and I realized that I don't have any confidence I can not do any behavior that pops into my little brain. How do you get the confidence? I want to do good in therapy so he can be proud of me..he says he is because I've come so far and my pdoc this morning said the same thing but every time they say that I want to say if you knew what went on in my head every day you wouldn't say that.
