Oh, silence! The dreaded part of therapy! Haha. I had NO idea how much silence would ensue in T, and if I did, I don't think I would have embarked on this journey. It has taken me a long time to not want to run out of the room during a period of silence. I would sit there staring at the floor thinking "this sucks SO bad! Why can't I think of anything to say?!" It really has been time and us constanly talking about how I hate it. Lol. I think just her always being consistent and acting like it doesn't bother her makes it better.
Now, dare I say, I actually have learned to appreciate silence!! Not really in the therapy room, but more in life. Its kinda nice.
