> Fake it til you make it!
GG,No offense - but pleeeeze don't make this your therapy mantra! When I was in a hospital outpatient program summer before last, "Fake it til you make it!" was the T's favorite saying! And it drove me crazy!
I guess it might work for some - but when I have, in the past, faked it, it has made me feel worse. Not that we should all wallow in self-pity, but...oh I don't know.
anyway...I just found it a bit amusing that you would include that when I heard it non-stop for four weeks summer before last. Now, the T that led my group was wonderful - reminded me a great deal of my personal T, actually, so I really liked her. And the "Fake it til you make it!" saying has stuck in my head. argh...
