How I "push" in therapy:
Not communicating
No eye contact/looking at the floor
Holding back information
Changing the subject
Restricting her from a topic
Telling her I don't want to continue therapy with her

How I "pull" in therapy:
Telling her that I feel like she's pushing me away
" " like she is rejecting me, abandoning me, not giving me credit
Throwing a pity party: "Everyone fights, but why do I have to fight just to live"

I can't restrict physical contact with my T because I'll never get it again. But with other people, I do restrict physical contact when I want to "push". I also insult sometimes, but again not with my T.
