I can't say that I'm in favor of these types of techniques, but I know that they happen. Let us know how things go at your next session. Meanwhile, take care of yourself  |
I think it was an accident on his part, as we are very honest with each other...he even says "I don't know" sometimes and said its hard for him to do that with clients unless he's comfortable. He also commented on not wanting to push me too hard as he knows I'll cut and run.l. And he's right, and i confirmed it...so I don't think this is a T trick. I'm just gonna sit with it and see what happens.
