when I find I am talking one way and thinking another I consider that a clue that Im not feeling comfortable at that moment or I find that Im in a situation where telling someone the complete honesty of my thoughts would not be good either for them or for me.. for example Im not about to tell my mother a certain shirt that she wears looks absolutely putrid/ghastly on her, and that she really should lighten up on the make up, that one of her eyebrows is tweezed wrong for her face shape and gosh give up saying a particular word she uses that annoys me. so instead I listen politely, nod my head in the right places and let my mom be how ever and who ever she is to herself all the while inside I am thinking the most un daughterly thoughts at times. about what I would love to do to that putrid green shirt, just give me the chance to launder that ... lol
and gosh I cant count how many times before and after I was integrated when I have been talking with my boss and thought some down right horrible thoughts lol
saying one thing to my treatment providers and thinking another... yup been there done that both before and after integration...
yup my opinion...speaking one thing and thinking something different is just part of being human.

Thanks for responding, I think my discomfort is that my outward demenior was quite and soft but my inside thoughts and feelings were condisending and contemptuous toward my t. She was unaware. At some point he wanted to get up and leave and almost did, but someone told him to sit and stay. He did but he wasn't happy. He felt stronger than me and I have not felt that before from the others. Not physically stronger but stronger.
I know he will be back at session at some time. He made me feel unsafe.
