It's been many years since I was in therapy, but two things from two different Ts really helped me a lot thru the years.

My first T: When I was about 6 months into treatment, when I said I don't see any difference yet, said, "You don't ARRIVE, it's a long slow process to get better". That has helped me many times when I have felt impatient with myself and wanted to hurry up and get better.

Last T: My husband, who was semi-abusive to me and dismissive of my feelings, but I loved him very much, just up and left me and our son one day. I remember telling my T that what hurt me most was the idea of him getting with someone else and treating her the way I wanted him to treat me. She said "That's not going to happen. He will never treat any woman differently than he treated you." That really helped me to process the separation and go on to divorce and do what I needed to do.
