Here is another example:

CBT T will make a strange throwaway comment once in awhile, alluding to mysterious other people who criticize him.

He will say things like:
"Some people say I'm a bit too structured"
"Others have said that I bark things out randomly and loudly"

and so on…

I keep thinking, have I openly criticized him??? Or is he talking about other patients? ****, is he alluding to marital discord at home?

I guess I am asking about those little things that make you go hmmm in therapy.
