You should try it, stopdog. Try saying something positive to her. Maybe do it on April 1st as an April Fool's joke so you can easily take it back and say "haha, just kidding" if it doesn't work out so well.
By the way, maybe we'd get along better if you changed your name to "Go Dog, Go" instead of stopdog. I like Dr. Seuss.

Conversation with my therapist:

Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."

It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
Thanks for this!
