Thanks all, some great things to think about. I'm wondering if it's partly a physical reaction. I don't know how to describe it because I really like my therapist and think fondly of her outside of session. I like her! But then when I go into session I often feel like she's a hawk and I'm prey. My guts are just churning because I don't know what she's going to say... you know, if it's going to hurt my feelings...

And it's like all this adrenaline gets going and I find myself talking faster and more sharply and sort of joking around and I think she considers that sarcastic so it just becomes a whole thing.

I guess we'll work on slowing it down.
