I'm definitely there with you on your question about therapists telling us what happened wasn't normal.... I feel like so much of the time I'm desperate for some sort of excuse for my self-doubt and the other problems inside me. Some excuse for being in therapy, I suppose. And my therapist is very clearly my advocate... a voice fighting my own impulses to hate and blame myself. She is constantly telling me I take too much responsibility. She gets angry on my behalf about things that happened in my past.
I love her for it, too. But though I don't think she'd ever lie to me, I do sometimes fear that she sometimes is unrealistic, either because she's caught up in the role as an advocate, or worse, because perhaps I've portrayed things unfairly.
If I expressed this concern to her, I'm sure she would just say that it was so like me. Which is true. So who knows, maybe she is right.
