THIS is how I want my T to talk to me. Because then I know that he was listening to what I've said in past sessions. Not only that, but I also the shock value is there too. Why sugar coat it? I mean, hearing someone else ask me if I am having thoughts of swallowing pills would make me stop and actually hear that. The reality of it. Sorry, I dunno how to explain what I'm thinking.

But in a group session, Maybe it's too harsh or personal? Or maybe they are trying not to give others "ideas"? I agree though.... if you are going to bring it up, then just ask the darn question.
Thanks for this!
