3. Yes and no. I think she's right about the end goal is me not needing therapy. Do I think I'm at my end goal? Not even close! I'm still struggling to get out of the house. Then I have to learn how to balance a relationship. And if I ever become a parent, I will want guidance/support. And I need to keep practicing DBT skills in order for them to come more naturally instead of depending on others to remind me.

Sorry you're facing this--it's really tough when someone who matters expresses an opinion that doesn't gel with your own views on the matter. Still, I think it's pretty revealing that #1 is the only unequivocal "yes," don't you? I think it sort of simplifies things a little bit--gives you the option to consider what she said, listen to other perspectives, think about it, come to your own conclusion. At least, that's what I do when my T (or anyone whose opinion I respect) gives me a challenging piece of information.
I'm glad your T responded and will talk with your Pdoc about this. It always helps me to have someone else help me think things through. Wishing you the best.
