No one wants to be told what they did wrong by anyone and when you're telling/accepting that yourself can be very overwhelming. At first. Then it becomes liberating. Think of it like swimming lessons. At first you're terrified of drowning. Each time you attend another lesson you relax a bit more. Before you know it you're swimming. Hang in there.
