Hey Guy. So what's the worst that could happen if you don't show?

Maybe your t wanting to talk about your mood was psychodynamic. Where is this mood coming from?

I know you're not incompetent. I know you're quite intelligent. Like myself! But I also think our storylines are similar:
1. Family noted we were exceptional.
2. Family noted we were also defective in some way.
3. Family begrudged and denies our exceptIonal traits, does not encourage its expression and development. E.g. if only your brother had your brains, not you.
4. So anything we offer is rejected, leaving us feeling confused and helpless.
5. Solution: pearls before swine. Leave THEIR field of play, via T.
6. Eventually, feelings of competency return. Return to life.

This is what I finally figured out for myself, ie for my storyline. Steps 1-4 are pretty subtle, they don't come right out and SAY it. Except they kinda do.
