Yesterday, I went to my appointment with my therapist. It was a positive, yet quiet time. Usually, it is positive, yet very emotional (for me).
At the end of the therapy appointment, she asked me if I was proud of myself. Typically, I would have avoided the question, or felt very self conscious in some way.
But for some reason, I felt confident this time. As I look back in my mind, I can see all the baby steps of progress I have made. They stretch back as far as I can see.
She helped to set goals. My two main goals are for better self-esteem, and more assertiveness. With her encouragement and help, my self-esteem is definitely better. But, I had to admit to her that I still had more work to do on the assertiveness.
Still, I was proud of my progress. And I did not hesitate when she asked me. I am thankful and glad.
Thanks for this!
