That's a good point, thanks! I try to bring things up on my own but even bringing up the fact that I need to be pushed sounds like an insurmountable task. I think I need to be pushed or controlled because I'm afraid of rejection or making someone else uncomfortable, even though it's my therapist and it's her JOB
I'm sorta stuck in a weird spot and not making much progress
