When I have someone confront me like that, I end up flipping right back around to where I started. Slow gentle nudging can get my thought process to move.

I just ended with a therapist who decided in the end to take my slow progress personally. She decided that she was the only one who could ever have a chance to get me to change, and since it didn't work, she was going to push me right back to where I was when we started. And she did it. I basically wasted a year and a half. Oh well, right?
