You're doing your best, and I hope you can be self compassionate with yourself  |
I appreciate your reply, QuietMind. I remember from DBT also, that radical acceptance is necessary before change. I am going to try to do that! It messes me up too much to be criticized about my relationship with my T. She's not complaining so I'm going to try to accept where I am like she does. I don't think it's ironic! Accepting ourselves as we are and having others accept us is therapeutic. Thanks for understanding. I wish you well too.
