Thank you. I really think that will help you. My therapist learned really quickly to start questioning what I was doing and how much I was doing it and how I felt about it. I have had a tendency to want to take on all these odd projects. When I owned a house it was really bad. Basement carpet needs pulled up even though it is glued down? Enter Super Jen. 4 layers of wallpaper must be scraped off an entire room and it was applied incorrectly so that it wouldn't come off with any normal tools or chemicals, enter Super Jen. Etc. Once he took my tools away because he felt that I was at risk for injuring myself, not on purpose but accidentally because I was so high and shaky and nervous. I was so mad about that but I couldn't promise I wouldn't touch it so I lost it for about 6 weeks. But if he didn't ask I'd never have even though to describe what was happening because it made total sense to me (and often continued to do so even when I was told it didn't). So it helps to let them see what you are thinking no matter what you think about how right and normal it is. (I'm fairly sure this has saved me from stitches in the past ).
