It's really hard for me to give myself credit, but I'm more likely to do exposures if I credit myself rather than berate myself, so I try to keep it purely pragmatic--credit helps.expwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556989048175473815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002849649452685145.post-73908130366584276852010-03-28T14:48:27.663-07:002010-03-28T14:48:27.663-07:00My parents are without a doubt on the "other ...My parents are without a doubt on the "other end of the spectrum."<br /><br />And for the first 24 years of my life, I happily occupied that end of the spectrum with them.

You are right, ...That is a <i>whole</i> lot of exposures! You are right, you get some credit. And maybe some slack next time. BTW, the cat V* cleaned up with pancake turner is gross. Just gross. Anyone would think that. Not an OCD thing, I think your parents must be on the other end of the continuum from OCD.

Having them believe that I was arrogant, self-centered, and judgemental was extremely painful, but it beat telling them I was crazy. I understand how the opinions of others can be difficult to bear. In the end, you have to be satisfied with the progress you made and realize that other people have to understand and accept on their own in their own time. I will admit, though, that this whole therapy/recovery thing would easier if we could do those things for them.Greg Dunganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434033657094564081noreply@blogger.com
