It's just a kind of praise/encouragement for whatever they've said/done, etc. at that moment. It isn't meant as a deep, meaning-filled comment. It is just an off-the-cuff remark. Could your T have made the statement just as a quick reply rather than a deep, meaning-filled observation? Is it possible you are giving that one sentence way more weight than was really intended? |
Oh that is very possible but i dont want to have a T who makes off the cuff remarks....how will I know which are sincere and which arent?
Also isnt there a saying about things said in jest are usually meant to be truth....
I spent my whole life having to interpret comments, intentions and motives of a dysfunctional family.... I want a T who says what they mean and mean what they say...and i am not a serious stick in the mud....I dont think I've had but one or two sessions in the last 3 years were my Ts and I didnt laugh....
I dont think this is the right T for me. I will give some thought to what to do but not starting therapy again for atleast a couple of months.
