Hmmm...does this mean I am him and he is me...OR am I my own self, magically turned into his T???

Trying it both ways:
Scenario #1: We have switched bodies. I am essentially "being my own therapist". Manipulating his puppet strings, I would make him more playful and less stern with me. His playful moments are beautiful but rare lately. He is dealing with a declining parent.

Scenario #2: I am myself again, but magically I am a therapist. T is seeing me. I now have to put my needs aside and determine what his treatment goals are and what kind of therapy he needs. He may need me to be a more silent T so I can act as his sounding board. He will not want or need the same things I need from therapy. He will want insight, not reparenting. He can handle and even want more confrontation than I do.

Kudos squiggle! Great posts all in 2 days. BTW I scored Triangle/circle not as cool as a squiggle but never a square.
