So can anyone here tell me why I had to spend time going off topic with him to argue about whether or not I know him!!!

almedafan, I don't necessarily think your discussion was "off topic." There is no assigned topic for each session. You get to choose what you will talk about and you chose to talk about whether you know your T or not. It's OK! Sounds like it was a good discussion. And it's OK you started on one topic and veered off into something else. I do that all the time. I actually think it's important to go with those veers, they are often meaningful.

An alternative explanation is that you really didn't want to talk about the husband topic because it was too painful, dangerous, etc. And you used the topic of knowing your T as a way to avoid that. Only you know why you did it. Maybe journal some on the topic until you figure it out. (((hugs)))

I think you know a lot about your T. Who is he kidding? And I love your comment, "I know enough about you." Really, so true. That reminds me of the concept of the "good enough therapist" in psychotherapy. I definitely think you know enough about your therapist and in fact consider that quite profound. I hope he listened to what you were saying.
