My T and I have talked a bit about some of those things. I don't think this was told at my intake or in my first session with T. I was so almost sure that I couldn't be helped, so we talked about it. My T was honest. She said that if I don't try, then I won't get ''better'', but if I try then there is at least a chance and I can't say I'm hopeless until I've tried all things that can help me. She said it won't be easy (so it could and probably would hurt) and she also said it could take a long time. And also that I probably won't ever be ''problem'' free. I'll probably always have some anxiety with social situations.

I'm glad my T is sort of honest. If she would only be positive, then I won't believe her. I already knew all this, that it won't be easy and short. I wish previous T's would have been honest about therapy and everthing. They kind of made me believe that it was all my fault and that I was a failure.
