so many T's, so many phrases...

"feet on the floor, feel the floor beneath you, remember where you are"
"what is going thru your mind right now?"
"stop minimizing it"
"I know it's hard, but try to look at me for a second, your drifting away" (I have REALLY poor eye contact, and I hate when he says that because I have to look up from the floor)

Sometimes if I tell him something crappy that is going on he says "that's awful" and I always shrug and say "no, it's not that bad" and he ALWAYS responds "I'm entitled to my feelings".
