And I would "challenge" you on "challenging" her. Would you say you deliberately challenged her at the time, or were you just taking poetic license in describing the scene for us here? If not poetic license, then why the challenge? ie what's that all about? what is the need to challenge about? that would have to be answered before I ever satisfied your curiosity about my marital status, were I your T  (afraid there is no smilie for 'cold day in hell!') (hey, who said that, me or you?!)  |
So the patient is told on a "need to know" basis? I feel that as hostility and it certainly doesn't help to build trust.
Yes I
did challenge her. I said something like:
"I notice you're not answering my questions. I know less about you than about the people at work. That bugs me. What's going on?"
She then gave me some spiel about the blank slate.
I
do read too fast. And you may be as snide as you like, because you have won my trust. You're one of the few people I will listen to when I'm angry. A very exclusive club. (Go on, quote Groucho Marx.)
