Most of the time I feel like I'm a failure of a client, I've been seeing you for 2.5 years and I often feel stuck because I have trouble implementing the coping strategies we talk about. But on Thursday, when I was thinking out loud, you pointed out that my way of thinking about that problem was good because I acknowledged my anxiety but then reminded myself of reasons that things will be OK.
Since then I've realized, ever since I started seeing you, I've been much better at managing my anxiety. I went from my anxiety being so bad that I got ill and lost weight, to now where sometimes I wonder if I even need to keep taking my anti anxiety medicine.
Maybe I'm not a complete failure, after all. I hope you don't think I am.
