Congratulations on your progress. It may sometimes seem small to you, but I know it's really huge.
I think the most important thing you are doing is being able to "catch" yourself at the beginning of some of those OCD episodes before they take over. That is a big deal, because so many times we are on the anxiety rollercoaster before we ever even realize it.
I'm glad you tell her about the setbacks as well as the progress. That tells me you're putting your desire for help above any sort of need for approval. I know that's hard, I'm in therapy myself. Good work.
