Yes, my T is wonderful for accountability.......BUT.....I also have friends that I talk things over with & when I have problems or just need some support, they are there for me & give suggestions & we work through options.
I never had that before I moved to where I am now. I WAS married & had family I never trusted to KNOW anything so I made some bad decisions on my own. I can honestly see now how being surrounded by wonderful supportive friends I TRUST to know things is so very important in life. I am glad at this point in my life I have this. Now that I have this in my life I can see how much the lack of is was definitely difficult. I made some wise choices in the past, but the battle to make those wise choices was not easy either........if I would have had someone to talk over my thoughts with, even that wouldn't have been such a war.
My T now is someone who I talk to about things I don't want to continually burden friends with some of the ongoing things I am dealing with in life & my T also helps me talk through how I have handles things & what I might have done better & she just keeps me on track. I see her once a month & that helps....plus several DBT groups a month also.....but that doesn't get into specifics.
