I agree it could be this. Maybe it is some kind of therapist trick, where they go back and forth on it, or really understate it (or overstate), just to gauge your reaction. Then they go from there with better understanding of how to work on the material with you. I don't know, just throwing things out there. I think about things way too much, to the point of over thinking.

Like my t, she goes back and forth on what happened to me being CSA or not. 1st it was CSA. Next week it was "just experimentation and bribery". Then the following week it is back to being CSA.
Maybe I just wish t's were thinking about things so in depth and catching all the little idiosyncrasies so they can eventually help a person make sense of themselves and their story. It is probably wishful thinking. I think my t is probably just forgetful and, as someone else on here pointed out, disengaged. If I were ever a t, I'd hope to be the kind that catches all those little details though, and apply them to the bigger picture of the whole person within their story.
