Good luck in your career.
Glad to hear you're doing well. Yes, we are all different...and it's absolutely okay. Like I just told rainbow, I projected a bit from my relationship with my T onto her T. Rainbow has been though a lot with her T in the time I've known her and sometimes I thought her T wasn't helpful because long periods of time would elapse before progress was made. I've always empathized some with rainbow because we share a diagnosis. What I need to remember is that it took 6 years of therapy before I really learned how to manage the traits. It might take someone else 15 years and a 3rd person 2 years. I'm actually looking at lifelong therapy myself.

What you've said reminds me that therapy is really a journey of increased self-awareness...for the client AND the T. Always learning more...
