I don't think so. There have been a couple things where I thought he was playing games, but when I asked him, he said... "No, I wouldn't f-- with you". He seemed pretty genuine, so I believe him... but I still ask about stuff that doesn't seem to match up for me, so I can find out what he's thinking.

(First time was when he said to me, "What would you say if I told you you that your family is really f---ed up?" - I asked him at the next session if he really meant my family was screwed up, or if he just said that as a diagnostic tool, since by prefacing it with "what would you say..." he really WASN'T saying it, he was just asking for my opinion!

The second time was when he talked about how important good boundaries were going to be for me to feel safe... and then stuck his feet up on the couch next to me! Yikes. That time he said he was actually feeling like he needed to face me better...)
