I had to laugh at the fact that you would have been taken off guard as well and at the fact that you probably would not have been honest at first.I could see how it would be a great temptation to skirt around that question and or to lie.Perhaps I was ready because I was comfortable with him and I didn't want to waste any more time on my road to recovery for me to give an honest answer.I think in our humanism we do get afraid and sometimes are not honest.
My 2nd answer was to identify a problem, come up with a solution and act on that solution. I called it cognitive therapy and asked him is that was cognitive therapy was? So he answered "NO." But I know now I have to do some more studying on it because all the information was too new for me to understand the full concept . I even had to ask him to tell me again in a different way.
He also asked me if there was anything I was afraid of? What would your answers be?
I think I will like working with this T because he has challenged me from the start.
