Do you ever realize that a symptom that you thought was psychological, was actually physical?  Or vice versa?  Example: lots of headache pain was actually stemming from the psychological issues, but at first you thought it was actually a physical issue.

If you are in therapy – how well you deal with your therapist taking a vacation?  Or anytime therapy is canceled?
