By the way, here is the definition of the word objective:

not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased: an objective opinion.

It would be pretty difficult to be objective to your own therapy, wouldn't it? Perhaps even impossible. How stupid of me to let my personal feelings get in the way of my own therapy!! lol

Well I know the definition of being objective and that is my point exactly. You are in the relationship, you may not see the red flags because you are emotionally involved in the situation. Sometime it is beneficial to see what outsiders say. That is why we have T's after all, because we can't always see our own personal relationships objectively. The T is usually the outsider to help.
I have also learned people use jokes and attach the credibility of others when they feel criticized, or to reflect the attention off the subject, so I don't take any of this personally.
