Do you have goals for therapy? Are they the same goals that you came in with? How much input did your therapist have into your goals?

I brought 3 goals to therapy intially:

1. To deal with anxiety around a work trip. Therapist made things worse. I survived the trip, despite therapy. This is off the table now that the trip is done, furthering my believe that alot of crap takes care of itself with enough time.

2. To learn how to deal with my mother. This seems like it should be an easy one. I have a feeling T will say it boils down to, "tell her no, and don't back down." *shrug* Not sure I actually need a T for this?

3. To figure out what I want to do with my life. Not sure T can help with this either. I suspect the problem is bigger though. I think "career coaching" stuff can't work until I fixed the underlying brokenness, but I can't see that part clearly enough to create goals around it. Maybe first goal should be to identify the broken pieces?

Meh.
