Wow I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels strange when given compliments on progrss by the T. I actually expressed the way I feel to the T. She basically said it's because I'm a Type A personality and she didn't expect me to be able to take a compliment. It is frustrating to hear "you've come a long way" when you know you have so much ahead of you. You're still going to have speed bumps along the road in your recovery, but if you can step back and appreciate what you have done so far (because it is truly an accomplishment) it gives you something to fall back on when you come across the bumps in the road. This being said, maybe it's so hard for you to take a compliment because you're not used to hearing them from people. Or maybe you're really focused on the future so much that you don't give yourself a chance to see what you've already done. In either case, it's something to work on and don't be afraid to talk to the T or Dr. about the way you felt about the compliments. Take care,
Gravyyy
