I hear the compliment but dismiss it immediately because "I don't FEEL any better." But, then I think about it later and realize that making progress doesn't always mean feeling better.

Split - sometimes I think that we need to be reminded of our progress and sounds like she did it in a positive way, but maybe as you progress more and more - the strange feelings won't be there.

He asked me once if I didn't want to feel better because then we would terminate. I said yes....no....YES....NO...i don't know. Then I told him that even if I felt great, there will always be things to work on. He agreed so that made me feel not so worried about termination - although I do worry he's going to terminate me if I am a few minutes late. After two years, I'm late once, think he's angry (although nothing to indicate he is) and that he's going to drop me. Its hard to believe that he wouldn't hurt me intentionally...its hard, but I don't believe he would do that to me.
