How do you deal with the distance created when you disagree or get angry at your T and feel alone?

I have been confronting him lately. Actually it's quite liberating, and I find myself running wild with the freedom, lol.

As far as distance... I read the other day that Irvin Yalom asks his patients, "How are you dealing with the space between you and me today?"

I love that. I can't get over it.

I can't force my T to ask something Yalom does... it would be unnatural. So when I go in on Friday (and I'm not kidding about this), I am going to sit down and say to T, "So how are you dealing with the space between you and I today?"

You see, it's such a great concept and statement that I cannot bear to let it go to waste. So I figure that if I use it, then we can at least discuss it.
