When I recall times my T got mad at me or was upset with me (or I thought he was), I recall them as when he stood on the other side of the room from me, rather than sitting opposite from me on his couch. In truth, I am not sure he really was upset with me from a different position in the room. I think I remember his getting up and moving there, and I interpret this as his wanting to put distance between us because he is mad at me. But I am not sure this is how it happens at all. I think this may be a visual metaphor my brain constructs to match how I am feeling and how I perceive he is feeling. This doesn't bother me. I know our brains can do fascinating things! Perhaps it is a little like an optical illusion--our brain plays a trick on us. I don't think to ask T about it when it is happening because it seems real. He could very well move to another part of the room--it's not like I am envisioning him standing on the ceiling.

I am better at detecting these "aural" illusions and I will sometimes talk about them in real time to T. It is somehow easier to spot these--I will say to T, "I know you said this, but what I hear you saying is this. Is that what you are saying to me?" Often times, his answer is "no." WePow, it sounds like you also heard T's real words and another voice too. Did you ask your T about this when it happened?
