Never out of line, Pfinstegg! Actually your post was enormously helpful to me. It helped me remember that if I'm a bit bored when I'm doing well the remedy is in my hands. I just have to willing to take the risk that it will make my therapist less a place of refuge when I'm not doing well. Maybe I can address this with him again, now that the iron is cold so to speak. Maybe we can figure out some way to preserve the refuge while using my good times to accomplish a bit more through letting him challenge me a bit more. He says I bite back when he challenges me. :(
P.S. Have you actually known someone to change? Really? It's an astonishing concept....
I've saved myself a lot of pain with low expectations.
