Hey, stopdog ~

I could take your one sentence to my therapist and this would give us material for many sessions' work. Have you told your T this, this directly?

For me, connection is what sparks one of two responses in me after or during a session ...

"I get it. I get it!!" ... or ... "Good, he gets it (me)."

It's communication that we can use to improve my coping skills, which is what I'm in therapy to acquire.

Without that connection, the sessions would be little more than lectures. If I picked up on something useful, fine--but he would just be throwing out general theory, like any bored, absent-minded prof.

I didn't like that type in the classroom, and I sure don't like it in a therapy session.

But that's just me.
