Make of it what you will...

...when you can watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind and no longer cry and want to jump on the ship with the aliens (I have wanted to escape for 20 + years)

When I realize I have gone 3 months without a session and have managed multiple serious crises on my own using everything I have learned about stress management, assertiveness, coping. Dang if that stuff does work after all.

When your T and insurance company want you to go see a pdoc and you think about quitting therapy instead and you are actual ok with it.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.

...when you no longer desire to end your life.

...when you smile to yourself and think how truly happy you are.

...when you're in control of your health, finances, responsibilities, and home.

...when you want to see people, places, and things.

...when you feel like you're thriving rather than barely surviving.

When I hear my T's voice in my head asking probing questions in response to negative self talk: "Do you really believe that?"

When you feel like the therapist is crazier than the client.
