hmmm...I didn't see your 40 page entry but from what I am reading here it sounds like your T is being a little more direct with you maybe? I have times when my T speaks to me quite firmly and I ALWAYS always cry when she does that. She always reassures me that is isn't getting mad at me and that the reason that she is choosing to be firm is to really get me to listen to what she is saying because it is important and I need to hear it. This is how it usually goes down now. I hope that you all enjoy it, Lol.

She now warns me and says "I am going to be firm with you now..."and yea, that is pretty much the reaction I have. Think of the bowling ball being my T and I well whatever, Then T saying hey i am not mad I say it sure feels like being on this right now Then she says really?, well let's explore that then for a bit. After are harmless battle with only few tears said things come to a positive conclusion as usual. with a high 5 and a and the usual standard silliness that always seems to entail these sorts of situations in the first place... And NO my T does not have a teeter totter in her office, LOL I wish that she did though! The ULTIMATE avoidance mechanism!! SWEET!

I don't know if this was relevent in some sort of way but hope that I did somehow manage to cheer you up a bit and to let you know that you are not the only one who goes through these kinds of things with their T's, Hope you are well. Take care. Cats.
