From an email to a friend:
I had a REALLY great meeting with K. I actually went to her saying I feel like I'm wasting your time, I feel like I should be fixed already and I'm more broken than ever. Thank God she had some really encouraging words to say. Brando and I just read in the Five Love Languages book that encourage means to "inspire to courage". I never realized that was the definition, I LOVE that! Any way I had a really good conversation with her and she called out some things that I was aware of but wasn't putting my finger on. Mainly fear. She pointed out once again that if I'm looking at things, which I am, from a fear perspective that that does NOT come from God. That was really encouraging to hear. We talked about a few other things indepth as well. I ended up feeling very refreshed.

A friend of mine let me borrow The Five Love Languages. That book is so good!
I hope things get better for you. It's definitely good to talk about it.
I'm so glad you had a great talk with her! I love learning the deeper meanings and origins of words.
Sometimes you know what the problem is but just HEARING it from another person can make all the difference. Big hugs to you.
And now for some semi-cheesy country music advice:
"God gives us mountains so we can learn how to climb."
It's true!!
