If I feel pushed at all rather than having the info put there so I can choose it, I go straight to I would rather lose my way than win your way -which is perhaps why I am such a therapy reject.

isn't there something in between lose my way or win your way? I think the speech guy and the King found some sort of compromise, where it wasn't one giving up his way/self to the other....but it became THEIR way, THEIR work. They were in it, fighting together.
Can't you do that in therapy....a middle ground, a sort of a compromise, say?
on a humorous note, I have a Tshirt I like to wear that says, I'm not stubborn, my way is just better! So I can get what you're saying, stopdog....a sort of a digging in, like, I'm not giving up my way when I think it's right for me just because YOU think your way would work better! I really DO want my way too (and I do get ticked when people call me stubborn, etc....but why not joke about it, I guess
) and hate that people seem to think there's something wrong about my way of doing things or my way of being that needs to be fixed. It's like, why not acknowledge there's right in my way too?
Because the truth is, there's right in my way and wrong in someone else's way (like T's way) and there's wrong in my way and right in someone else's way....and where do you find the balance in all that?
