I agree with this, soccerball. My T knows (because I've told him a million times) that it is a HUGE DEAL to me that he be honest with me. I would rather have him say something that is hard to hear, but honest, than say something "nice" that isn't true. It's actually probably one of the biggest deals in therapy to me...that he's honest. I really think he is. It took a long time for me to really trust that, though.
