I react very negatively to this sort of suggestion. What I hear is "I want you to be medicated so that you don't present me with this kind of difficulty -- I don't want to hear about it." Is this just me (and transference) or is my perception somewhat correct that this is what the person is hinting (but not saying openly)?

I see there is a missing piece here. Does anyone else see it?


What if I am hearing pretty accurately, that the person (T) IS saying that they don't really want to know what I am saying, and in addition what if they are not being open (with me or with themselves) about that? What then? If they are doing that, then they are doing that. The missing piece is, why does that result in so much disturbance of thought for me? Why does it cause me to not see what is happening (and panic, in effect)?
