I don't necessarily like it when my T pushes me but I also don't want to be in T forever and with DID I have so far to go. Within the first couple months with him I asked to go to 2x a week so that I could get better faster. He thought that was a good idea.

So I guess I would say yes, I want him to push me. Luckily his normal policy is to not let clients just chat about the issues of the week. He says it would be unethical if he did not push me toward steady improvement.

It has been almost 4 years now and I am finally starting to notice improvement although he says he has noticed all along. Even with his pushing, it feels like I am still going to be in therapy forever but I continue to work hard.
