Ok JM so now I am really creeped out! We must have lived parallel lives.

I have had the "performance" discussion with my T. I think that is why I get so anxious every time I go to therapy. The pressure that I put on myself to "do it right" is overwhelming.

It's nice to hear this. I know that I have allowed a tiny crack in my shield, and maybe more for my T than for anyone else. But I am allowing a few other people to peek inside just a little bit. (My husband for one) Wonder what I will look like when the whole shield falls down? Wonder if that will ever happen?
