Sometimes things will come up where my T will say things back that I've said; checking he knows what is going on, clarifying, seeing if I really meant something etc. or he will say something that is teasing. Problem is that while I know at one level that it's my words or thoughts, or that something is said in jest to lighten things when it gets really intense my mind sometimes has a lot of trouble separating that and not thinking that it's what he really thinks, and thinking that the teasing is serious. Then my mind ends up taking those things and using it against me so that I'm tearing myself apart because of something that isn't even real, true or there. As I write this the process sounds like it should have a simple solution (and it also sounds silly); however although I know this happens I'm still not good with untangling it when it's going on. Does anyone else do this? and know how to undo it?
