I too came upon cynicism as a philosophy. I liked it and found a lot of merit in it so I brought it up with my T at the time... DUH! I don't think she understood a bit of it, but left crying hysterically running for her supervisor 2hrs into the session (it was supposed to be a 50 min session). I guess it is a philosophical stance T's find difficult. dunno... I don't see problem with it provided, like most things, you don't go extremest with it.
