My therapist has pointed out a number of times that I have made great progress. I do think that how a therapist measures progress might be somewhat different than we, as clients, measure it.
When my T first commented about my progress I guess I looked doubtful (I sure felt doubtful), because she reminded me of a major issue I had had when I first met her, and how that issue is now much less intrusive and painful for me.
I was surprised! I'd forgotten about that particular issue. Suddenly I could see what she meant by "progress."
The T does have far more of an objective overview than the client does.
