I complain a lot that I am not as articulate as other writers here, but this episode really demonstrated something to me. I'm not sure how to, or if I can change / improve this. Thank you for this insight, and thank you for not getting too offended, as would certainly have been your right for my boorish behavior.  ? |
Ha! When somebody says "No offence...", I figure I've just been offended
. What I really thought was that you were pointing out that I couldn't come up with a witty way to get it out of him...Which would be correct. Sometimes I go brain dead and my sense of humour is non-existent in therapy. Transference is live and well right in the therapists' office - I never could joke around with my family - they made me too nervous and crazy. Anyway, it's peeking out these days as I am getting somewhat more at ease with my T. Could probably use some coaching lessons from you though

Anyway, no biggie - if I got upset over this trivial thing, I never would have survived this long. But I do thank you for the apology...
