MKAC - I keep telling myself that I'm going to stop talking and ask him what it is he finds amusing, but haven't been able to yet. The one-sided smile really got me this time. I've read that it is a sign of contempt or disbelief.

Which brings me to Crescent Moons comments. Transference, I don't know, haven't really thought that was happening. Yes, my childhood/childhood relationships were very dysfunctional and "reading" body language was a necessary survival skill. Guess this why I'm so perplexed as to why I'm having difficulty reading my t???? I also have attachment issues...just don't get attached and pretty sure I'm not quite there with t.

Thanks pbutton for providing a different perspective! I can take myself so serious sometimes and really never stepped back to see how that looks or sounds to others.

Still just can't shake the feeling he is placating me. Guess, Crescent Moon, I've found something to talk about next session. Thanks everyone.
