Sounds like common sense but it does make me wonder how many of us go to our Ts joking about stuff and they're laughing at the jokes or vice versa and then you still have the hard stuff to talk about. My T says that without the connection between us, no matter what method she uses, it wouldn't work if we didn't have the connection.
I'm just curious as to how many of us exchange humor w/ our Ts and if so, how often? What has been your reactions to eachother? Does your T smile/laugh? Do they give you the "poker face" look? Do you agree with this article that I read?

Yup, usually after we've had several hard sessions we have a more relaxed conversational session and joke around. She said she felt guilty for not keeping to the trauma work and asked the other Ts in her practice how they felt about it. All of them also said they do the same thing at times. I told her I sometimes need a week "off" and have a real adult conversation since I'm around little kids every day.
