wow what questions.

Do I have a good sense of who I would like to be? yes.
Do I have a good sense of who I am? yes, but it is unforrtunately not at all the same person. Am I able to stay connected to the who-I-am person during therapy - sometimes - or with others - sometimes..

the thing is, being the person I know myself to be is **** depressing. It doesn't get better when T tells me she doesn't see that person, that I am really the person I say I would like to be. don't know whether this makes sense...
