You sought me out for counseling at the beginning of the year to address your porn addiction. I told you that unfortunately, we just really need you to get worse before you can start to get better. In my clinical experience, clients really need to hit rock bottom before we can start to turn things around. You're convinced that I, your counselor, am somehow also your goddess, but I gaslight you over and over into believing it's not me. Now you've started having intrusive thoughts about stroking, they're even happening during your appointment with me. I continue to convince you that there's no way I'm your goddess. But there are little things that keep convincing you otherwise. Just stay in treatment, stay with the program. I'm afraid things just aren't bad enough yet. We'll get you to rock bottom, don't worry. **Companion Clips: Relapse Resolution Part 1 & 2
