I think you're right. I do concentrate on what I do share. I've been with the same therapist for nine years. Sometimes twice a week, sometimes once a week, sometimes once every other week. And I've tried to be open with him. So I feel like he knows me better than any human being on the planet. Probably because I pay him to know me better than any human being on this planet. No matter how revolting or icky it is, or how shamed I am of it, it's his job to hear it and help me process it. Of course, not all therapists are as darn good at it as he is.

That's why I get so distraught when he's angry with me or doesn't like me for a while. Because he does know me better than anyone, so my acceptability depends on him thinking I'm acceptable.
