I know that I need to be less emotional/less emotionally dependent on him. I've struggled with this all of my life. I cried numerous times a day when I was a child. I've talked to so many c's about feeling better about myself, but do not find applicable skills. They keep repeating to me, "you don't believe you are loveable, you need to love yourself.., " but don't tell me how-even when I ask. I specifically asked and told this to my current? c and she said, oh, we'll work on that. But it's the same old same old. Then she gives me negative images to think of myself in, duh, then I go home feeling worse and get upset.
I know I need to probe less. He's been real good as of late to tell me that he is tired or sore from work. He also has told me on numerous occassions, that if something is bothering him, he will speak up. Well, in regards to the current sit, it has been the same old same old for 4 years, and he thinks it is silly to repeat himself. Yes, he is frustrated, yes he is dissapointed, no I don't understand how he feels totally, etc.
