ah...figured out more of my issues in therapy last week

athenacusathenacusMember
I think I made a bit of a breakthrough in therapy last week. Whew! We were at an impasse for a while and I finally came to some insight. T was impressed and said that she thought we did good work in that session.
One of my problems is...the need for approval...
here is a website I stumbled upon with more info on that if anyone wants to read it...

That's cool that you managed to figure that out!

Need for approval has been a big issue for me as well. I figured out two things about it:

1. Part of wanting approval for me was keep everyone so distracted with how great I was, so that nobody would find out who I really was. There was an underlying shame thing going on there.

2. Having a good attachment with my T has helped an amazing amount with this. Since I have her care and regard no matter what I do or don't do, I can stop bending over backwards to get approval.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
