During session, we did not agree on anything. I talked about an issue with one of my chldren and then talked about my marriage and some problems I perceive in my marital relationship. I found myself totally annoyed at him over and over again. By the time he said "time's up," I said "good." He said, "We were not on the same side at all today." I just said, "No." Then I just left.

Sounds like you are pretty connected to yourself tonight...

And you are still connecting with him...just in a different way. It is not all fluffy sometimes. The intereaction was certainly there...so you were connected in some way. The emotion that you expressed shows your independence but yet...you have connected....head to head...

(I recall with my first pdoc..we always shook hands at the beginning and the end of the visit...his guideline...and it was good with me. I will remember the time I was so ticked that I would not take his hand at the end. WOW... big. Then he would not allow it... lol..oh the good old days. That was a separation or claiming my independence or difference of opinion in a BIG way..symbolically.)
