If I'm understanding your post correctly...getting to this point with T, the world, and one's self is really uncomfortable.
Hope it resolves soon  |
I hope your situation improves as well. I think what you said is accurate-- I worry that either constant self doubt or need for reassurance wears other people thin, even therapists. Thankfully, most T's pull through their frustrations. I think mine has a little. He called me today and was very kind.
Sometimes it helps to say to T " I know that I am always needing reassurance but I don't know what to do about that yet." It shows you are aware and are willing to change.
Not sure what to do with others in my life !
