I am surprised that only a couple of people here have tried it.

don't get thrown off track by bad Ts who say you're nitpicking or "hyper aware" as a way to shift the burden. I went through that recently. I noticed early on that when I was "hyper aware" of how well therapy was going (which it sometimes was...) and went into great detail about how it was working, the detail orientation was welcome....however, when I held T to the same high standard about where it had gone wrong, I was told I was hyperaware. Seems hard to have it both ways. What's wrong with a little rigour here, after all? T is expensive....it should hold up to some level of scrutiny, it seems to me. Ts who call critical clients "hyper aware" just need to sprout a pair, in my view. Sorry to be a buzz kill....I am having a bad hair day, I guess.
