Thanks. I think itīs good getting to know oneself, having insights and I have for a long time knew about having a negative self image. But I expected my T to do something more actively about it, now when Iīve been in therapy for nine months.
I see a T to speed the process up, to feel I accomplish my goals. Especially when my T was very careful about us writing down goals in therapy. Now, when I feel she just lets me keep talking negatively about myself, whatīs her role as a T then?

A few years ago, it would have devastated me to admit even this much. At least now i know what my intentions are, even if they dont always come across to the other person.
I feel like maybe you are in the same space? Started your working years in the wrong place, with a false self. How do you find your good true self? Its a big job. Sometimes i feel like i am 4 years old, not 64, in terms of development. In terms of knowing what i want in life. Like even what i like to eat. Let alone, how to get along with people. How much progress can i make before i die? Age 15?
