It is hurtful I agree but ultimately you have to do this on your own. Even when you are seeing a therapist you have to use the information by yourself. So I guess you have just got a jump on that. And you did it, just maybe before time.
I did it on my own and mostly before CBT so I'm confident you can too. Remember set backs are just a marker of your progress. I think this is a good marker that you managed on your own.
I have.....During my most recent middle of the night panic attack I asked my partner if he would get up and help me calm down, and he said no. At first this caused me to feel even worse, and triggered feelings of rejection and abandonment. Part of my work has been to learn that I can ask for help, and to be denied by someone I love in a moment of need was very hurtful.
I was able to eventually calm down on my own. While I'm still hurt he chose to sleep instead of get up with me, I'm trying to see this as an opportunity to learn that I can trust and help myself in these situations, too.
