Today my therapist asked "what if being wrong didn't automatically mean you are also worse as a person?" and my brain divided by zero and rebooted.

A lot of my experience of therapy is having somebody politely ask a really simple question, like you'd ask a 4 year old, and realizing that I do not know the answer.

So then I realized I was wrong to feel bad about being wrong and I felt bad about being wrong about that, and I knew I wasn't supposed to feel bad about being wrong but I was anyway so that made me feel bad. And then my brain went into an infinite loop. It was a good session.

My previous biggest breakthrough in therapy was "sometimes if you feel unable to do things it's not because you are physically sick, but because you are sad" which, again, seems like a thing a 4 year old would grasp but I took a LOT of convincing.
