I think i'd be afraid to ask for a tape............hmmmmm.......gotta think about that on. Would LOVE to have one....

Pinksoil............it is all of you and this great thread that gave me the courage because no matter what the answer, I would have grown. And, i have this place to share......

really when I think about it, would they honestly say, "yea, ya know, I wish I would've passed on you". So maybe it wasn't truly the 'answer' to the sepcific question that was being sought, just maybe what the asking led to.....it led to openness and closeness and more trust.....and me reaching and she....reaching...and us, going together. So, don't fear the answers guys, you know the risk in asking may provide you with more insight into your t and into your relationship with your t.

LOL pinksoil about what your t said.......what did you say back?

I went into my whole, "You must be thinking how far gone I am, and that you really wish you could deport me right out of here." After I said that, he had his "amused" face on, haha.

Then he provided me with some great reality testing... it was actually really nice to hear... When we were talking about coming to more than one session per week, he asked me what were the reasons that led me to believe it wouldn't be feasible. I said, "Because you wouldn't want me here more than once per week. You're probably thinking-- she is so attached and pathetic-- twice per week is just going to make it worse." And he said something to the effect of "Ok. Now what about some logical reasons? It was really great because he said it in such a warm way, and it really made me feel as if it was completely alright with him if I need him more than once per week. I was able to see that I was distorting the situation (as usual), and that he really didn't want to kick my *** out the door.
