No, he didn't say "Duh", but he also didn't say "That is an important insight" or "Knowing that will help our work" or "I'm glad that you understand this". He asked some clarification questions (like, why was looking at his picture supposed to help, and does my mood crash like that often, etc.) - so I know he was listening. But I don't know (as Dinah would say) if I was a "good girl in therapy".
>>Now, YOUR job is to let that in. When he tries to help you accept that you are not perfect, but that not being perfect is NOT a failure, you need to LET THAT IN.
Why can't I have an EASY job? I'm trying, but I'm not perfect (and yes, it still feels like a failure). ARGH.
