Since I'm transitioning therapists right now I've had an opportunity to look back on the year with my old T, and in that looking back I've been able to see changes in myself and my life. For example, my mother passed away last year and I was able to relatively emotionally handle it in a way I wouldn't have been had I not been in therapy. I was able to ask for help and go into the hospital when things got to be too much for me in the fall, another improvement.

Sometimes it's easier to see changes in the past rather than as they are happening.
