Hey, Mair. Glad the next session was less awful. Hang in there. Sometimes, I thought of the difficult work in therapy as kind of inocculations. If I could survive dealing with some stuff head on despite how uncomfortable I felt, maybe it helped me build up better tolerance.
Don't bother comparing yourself to anyone else (this time it was regarding showing therapists posts from babble). Comparing self to others usually ends up with the same, negative, self-critical conclusions. My experience for myself, anyway. My first therapist taught me that. He was right.
Hope you're doing better this week. Keep us posted.
