who asked you to think about it scars?

I think counseling can become habit, or can degrade and need a break, then a coming together...

Seeing 'I am learning about myself' on your list is a great thing to see - as my T says everyone should be trying to heal and better themselves.

It's hard not to go back, and a lot of it is "attachment", love, feeling good... many things.

this made me think why I am in therapy... and, for the moment it's so I can better cope with stress and trauma as well as knowing how to lessen the burdens I will carry around forever - not all of my habits or feelings will go away but they can be managed.

I have been putting this question to myself a lot lately. So far the answer I feel most in tune with goes like this:

I am in a process of individuating, integrating (because I feel like a fragmented mess), and healing. This would be going on in someway with or without T because it seems to be what life is asking of me, but talking with her each week facilitates the process, and provides containment and grounding when necessary.

P.S. Yeah, I think counselling can become a habit. An expensive habit , but not necessarily a bad one.
