I always worried that professional mental health care would be difficult for me, considering that I've spent so much time self-reflecting and coming up with strategies and mechanisms to get by. The first psychiatrist I ever worked with was blown away when we talked - she even asked for a hug when our session was over.

There's definitely something to be said for having self-awareness. The struggle comes in when you're so aware and already trying so hard that even the professionals have no notes to add.

Maybe they asked you for the hug to make you feel better. Were you self aware of that possibility?

Quick, undermine the positive thing they thought about themselves!

I’m just trying to be realistic. That should be an important part of self awareness.

Of course, but considering the context in which it happened, it doesn't seem likely.
