Not at my best right now but I want to weigh in...
I don't think you suffer from black or white thinking -- except that you *do* have sort of a black or white attitude about "thinking" -- every decision must be scrutinized to see if it reflects pathology or gives away an insecurity...or comes out of your history without awareness. I rarely see you do something "just" because you want to...except maybe that last pair of shoes. :)
I don't know if I'm being clear at all. I think your therapist missed it, but I kind of think she was trying to get you to look at your need to "do" something -- anything--the right thing-- in all situations. I'm like this too but it is kind of exhausting. At least I think so right now. And I'm saying this in my most gentle, reflective voice -- OK?
How did the appointment with Sir pdoc go?
