So I met a T this weekend while at a party. It was a low key kind of get together, so I had a chance to really engage this T in a fairly long chat.

I found the discussion really disturbing. The zombie tone of his voice was the tone and inflection that any past therapist would have used -- while I was in the offices, talking about my problems!

I've done therapy on and off all my life, and the uber-clear, stilted kind of sleepy and calming way of talking....was exactly the way this T was talking to me....AT A PARTY, for Crissakes.

Eyebrows raised. Concerned look. Neutral reactions. The "reflect back what I hear...." the "how did that feel when that happened?" open ended questions....were all there.

But this was supposed to be a social gathering!

Does anyone else think that's kind of icky?
Thanks for this!
