Thanks for this! Funny you mention this. Just last session I was telling my T about how my house is in shambles (and it literally is, I live alone and I can't remember the last time someone has walked through the door), and she kept asking me what that meant. I didn't want to tell her examples because I felt too embarrassed. She made a comment about how she would never think I lived like that... I told her I hide it really, really, really well (because I do!). I guess the lesson here is that no one's life is as perfect as you might think it is. Hard to realize, but I guess it's a work in progress!
