So I saw T today and AGAIN she said "Cats, you really need to work on asking "why" less" She said that asking "why" can come across as defensive and that a lot of the time the answer or reasoning behind the question will not give a satisfying enough answer. She said that little kids ask why all the time, not adults. She said it is also becasue I am not fully grown. Physically I am but she said that emotionally, my emotional growth is still that of a young child. Ugh. So then when it was time to go she said "Alright time to go" and I said "How come?" and she said "There's that question again only you are re-phrasing it now, and you KNOW the answer to the question" Really I was just kind of surprised because I knew that her next patient wasn't there yet and usually she will give me extra time if the next patient is late. Apparently not today...
