Oh yeah, I do it all the time. I can even turn it around when she tells me she likes me. I'm out of my mind.
In my last session T asked me what TV show triggered me.. I didn't want to tell her that it was HBO's In Therapy because I didn't want to admit how obsessed I was while she was on vacation. Anyway, when she asked me what show I was watching I said "Don't worry about it. It's not relevant." Not five minutes later she used that line on me when I asked her what she thought was causing my symptoms! Friggin hilarious... she was teasing me and mirroring me. At the time I think I just laughed said "Well played.." but after the session I began to obsess about whether or not she was being spiteful. I've decided to assume that she was being playful, but have also noted that perhaps my comment was a little more dismissive than was necessary. I don't know if my T does these things intentionally to provoke thought, but frankly I don't want to ask... I'd rather believe that she's just that crafty.
Thanks for this!
