Sky I know it didn't work out with the session today
if or when you do talk to her about this I'd love to hear if she gives you concrete tips though!

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.

COY yes exactly! even if it's something positive I can twist it
I think from what you said it could be a mix of genuine playfulness and also therapeutic skill to see what you do with it

How do you go with when she repeats things back to you? and thanks
