[quote=stopdog;2863751]JB - I did not intend to criticize you. quote]

Wow, stopdog, I wasn't referring to you or anyone else when I talked about how other's confuse what "I" view as transferance!to their own views. I apologize for making you think that y ou might have "intentionally" critisized me. I have never felt that was the case.

I was simply talking about how I view my OWN reaction to my therapist's response to my own personal therapeutic topics. I truly feel my own therapist's responses to my personal and basic topics is a real. They are real and palpable. Often, my therapist's response is (while caring and responsive) is actually a terrible twist and pain in my gut--My therapist isn't opposed to calling me on my immature and unproductive in my responses. . . It is about being open and receptive to the changing world.

It has taken me a LOOOOONG time to even recognize the pain my therapist's realistic responses force from me. I'm proud to admit to recognizing the discomfor her responses bring about. For the longest time, I ignored that discomfort.. . . I blamed my discomfort, distrust and anger on others. . .. I wasn't willing to see that I had a part in all of this. All of us need to recognize that the world as we know has changed. Jeeseh I wish it would go back to what it was!
