Thank each and every one of you for your responses. I appreciate them far more than you know.
deliquesce, thanks for noting how you would share your experience with your docs. It would make one self conscious wouldn’t it.
wonderingmary, I think I will take advantage of the option I have been given. I can see how the experience would not be the same as if left alone to do it. I do have the ability to sort of fall within myself and shut out the outside world however when I have done that sort of thing in front of people I end up in hospital.
I’m thinking perhaps I also need to revisit the goals of therapy so my doc and I are going in the same direction. Perhaps this is something that has to be done regularly so as to not veer too far off course.
dyas, I understand his interest in what they say and I can even understand his interest in how I react to them but I do agree with you and will bring up my discomfort to him.
Perhaps I needed your thoughts to help me find my place in this therapeutic relationship. When I mentioned the shaman I did so because I can relate to that space of having a room I go to and closing the doors and no one can see what goes on inside. I think even in therapy one has to have that room. The trick is in knowing where the room ends and when to close the door. I’m trying and I’m learning.
Thanks again so much for your responses.
