Yes, I know what you mean about not realizing there is even an issue until after the fact. I don't fully understand why that happens. I often think of great answers back to people hours after speaking to them. I always maintain I would be great at winning discussions with friends if only I had an 20 minutes first to come up with my response.
I'm also not intentionally trying to please her as on a conscious level I am trying to reveal all of who I am as I know that is what is needed for the therapy to fully succeed. I guess part of me though is still trying to fully figure out who it is I really am and hoping therapy will help with revealing that.
