I hear where you are coming from, albeit a very different triggered expression from a cliche expression. My first T, was one my dad sent me to, post divorce. 'You know, your parents divorce, isn't your fault.'
Don't sugar coat general statements to me.
At 10,(or was I 9), my thought was, no shiz...duh. can't we just be supported without stupid general statements? Felt unheard. And certainly not understood. Why not get to the heart of the matter?
You're right, after a couple sessions, how would your T know one way or the other?
I'm fine, if my current T, makes a statement that states, based on your character and history, this is just who you are, at the core.
Don't bs me, from the get go...
