I am currently:

My weakness is telling a person my concerns without making it sound like a judgement/ criticism. However, I do think there should be a way to talk to your counsellor about your concerns and your need to talk more- I interrupt my therapist.........again it might be your perception, or there might be a reason your therapist talks alot. I know my irritability as part of my illness made me less tolerant.

However, do you actually listen to what she is saying- as in is it relevant. You don't think that you are making progress but from your posts it is obvious that you are. I make a list of things that happen and email to therapist before session or bring to session prepared to talk about- so "these are some things that happened that I want to talk about".

You might need to hold the reins in your session a bit more- but appreciate that she may be talking because you haven't been voicing your needs.

It’s time to lead the third revolution, which is not to say we want to be at the top of the world, but to say we want to change the world. Because the way the world has been designed by men is not working. It’s not working for women, it’s not working for men,
it’s not working for polar bears
