I don't think they are conflicting statements at all because we addressed the problem before it was a problem.
It helped me to establish that I could set boundaries and have them respected. It was a huge part of my therapy and the translation of it into the real world.Right now the only person that I feel as though I can be human around is my therapist (at least in this particular instance). That's one of the issues that I want to work on. Developing enough trust in others to allow myself to be "me" around them.
It sounds so simple doesn't it? Why would one even need a therapist for that? For me it isn't. I'm just grateful for now that I have my therapist modeling for me that it CAN be okay.
The translation of that modeling into the real world will take time.
