You and your therapist are the ones who decide together what "traits" are harmful to your well being. And mostly you. Your therapist just helps point you in the right direction. Your friends and family can say that you are dependent on your therapist until they are blue in the face, but if you ask your therapist and your therapist says it's not a concern, then don't be concerned about it!!!! Honestly!!! If you are having doubts about whether you are dependent upon your therapist, ask your therapist. Chances are that you'll get an honest answer.

As for the work attire, I'd say if your immediate supervisor isn't complaining, I wouldn't worry about it. Your father may complain, but dads do that. If you are unsure, ask your supervisor. I used to be unsure (as I have long legs and no hips so my skirts would somehow manage to be short... I know, excuses, excuses :)) and I would have no problem asking a supervisor I felt comfortable talking to. So, find one you can speak candidly with and ask.

If your mother refuses to go to therapy, then just set your mind to working on what you want to accomplish. Once you feel better about yourself, you'll be more equipped to dealing with other things that come your way.

And my boyfriend frequently tells me that I "run small issues into the ground." I don't care. If people think that the things that are important to you aren't a big deal, then they're wrong! And that's the truth! Work on the things that you feel are important and don't try to let what your family or friends get to you. I understand that it's hard. But, once you start to get that hard outer shell, things tend to bounce off of you. Just because people don't see the importance of the issues you need to resolve in therapy, doesn't make them of less importance to you! And that's the truth.
