3 weeks! That's great! My T was away for 2 weeks over the summer and I pretty much lost it, so I am very impressed--that's wonderful progress.
I've only been seeing my T for six months, and I haven't gotten very far, really. Well, there is one thing, I guess, that has gotten a little better. I used to be totally convinced that he hated me, and now I mostly think that he doesn't--but as I've indicated in lots of recent posts, I'm still pretty scared that he *will* hate me once he sees certain sides of me, so maybe I haven't made much progress, after all!
Oh, I thought of something else, actually, though it's about my life outside of therapy, and not about the relationship itself. When I started seeing him, I had terrible anxiety about teaching (I'm a grad student and I help teach undergrad courses), but over the course of this semester, it has really improved. Part of it, I'm sure, is that I've just gotten used to it--but I think that working with him has helped me along, too.
