My therapists think I'm doing better than I think I am - almost all of the time.
But since my first therapist told me on our first visit that she expected to see me 6 - 8 times, and I ended up seeing her for 8 1/2 years (and am still not "well"), I think that maybe my view is more accurate.
My new therapist said something in June about getting me back to work (i.e. fulltime software engineer) "well, maybe not by September". And he really did see "the real me" falling apart when I first met him.
I feel like I know how sick I am, and they know how to fix sick people. Somehow we have to get together on this and accept each other's knowledge.
I hate it when they say "You are more competent than you think you are". It makes me feel like I'm not trying, but in reality I think that there is something getting in the way of that competence that they don't understand yet.
