I've sessions where I feel a bit mortified about returning. The amazing thing is how my therapist is exactly the same when I return, completely accepting. I know some people don't like to liken therapy to parenting, but to me it reminds me of how I am with my kids - whatever they say I am the same loving mom - my daughter has said 'I hate you' in the past, but it has never changed me. And how I wish my own Mom might have been.
