I saw the following in me:
1. I was consistently taking care of my whole being without having to be told to do so.
2. My confidence and personal drive improved. Reclaimed my life and branched out into the world and relationships again. Stopped isolating.
3. My mood stabilized. Pretty much zero depression for months and months.
4. When situational issues came up, I handled them by using my skills, not falling back on old unhealthy coping mechanisms.
5. Spent very little time thinking about the past; able to live life in the present because I've dealt with the past finally and it's in its proper place -- just memory now, not running my present.
6. I had little to no need for therapy anymore; I realized I was managing very well without needing constant contact with my therapist or pdoc. (Not avoidance; truly no need.)
