Thank you. Yes, this is something I struggle with all the time. That's half the reason I've stayed in therapy. Although, like I've said, I've grown some in therapy (mostly using my voice more), but I really feel like that's something that isn't going to change. I can't seem to MAKE it change....I'm trying. I feel better about myself when I'm cared about, because it shows me I must be worthy of it... my T is well aware I don't feel like I'm worth the air that I breathe. I know it shouldn't, but her doing this only enforced that feeling. That's MY problem I know I have to deal with.
