My therapist had one way to approach things--slower and more cautious--and I had another. She was right. I will admit that now. I've contacted her since then to help stabilize things that are happening because of my condition. She's not angry, but we have to figure out how to do this safely. She said it was a breakthrough though, which I agree. But it's messy and frightening.
I'm glad to hear you are doing better/the relationship with your T is okay. That must have been very scary.

First of all, I used to be addicted to this show!! I actually was just talking to my T about this show last week, and she said while the show is captivating and does show the perils of severe addiction, it does a disservice to all the people who are struggling, but not so far down as the people they show on tv. (aka: me)

She has a point, and i said "but that would make terrible tv!" haha.
