Secret, that's OK! I was just pointing out to Sunny, about the basics of confrontation. Another thing about confrontation is that even if you are not a new client-- even if you have been with the therapist for a long time-- the therapist needs to wait until the client is ready. If you feel as though your therapist is confronting you in a way that is making you feel uncomfortable, let him know. Sometimes therapists will do it in a certain way to provoke anger. I know mine does. Because at the same time that he is pointing out a discrepancy, he is also working on having me get angry at him in session. McWilliams would call this autonomous, lol. So..... perhaps your T thinks you are more than ready for this? Ready for confrontation. Ready to be autonomous.
