I didn't take offense about being/not being articulate.
It's true for me too that I didn't understand what I was feeling at first, it was all a jumble. How many people, though, can sit and say, hmmm... I am feeling this and that and this and that? Some, surely, but not a lot. But, still, like you, sorting out those feelings and figuring out what was what was a long, hard part of therapy.
And I guess I'm still there in a way, aren't I?It's absolutely true that he's changed toward me because I have made progress. He doesn't seem to see it though. He may think that he evolves, but it really is as though he decided, ok,now's the time to blah blah. In fact, he said to me a few times ago "I hadn't planned on saying this, but" and went on about something. So I know he plans, I know he has an agenda of a sort that he follows, which is of course to be expected. But he isn't God, he doesn't necessarily instate these plans at the moment I am ready for them.
THis helps so much!! Thank you.
