Thanks, everyone.

Soccer Mom... It's just so weird to me... it almost feels like they way he reacts with stuff like that makes me *less* likely to go into more detail. It's not the type of response that says, "tell me more", it's the type of response that says, "Yes, and this isn't an issue worth discussion. What else do you have?" It's like it conveys no interest at all to me.

And, I don't even know what I want to say! I don't have anything planned out - with this, it literally was that what you wrote *resonated* with me, and I didn't have a well-thought out response. It was just "oh that sounds right/important."

I feel like this, right now, us writing back and forth, is more "blossoming" than I get from T. When people write here with their experiences and questions about things to think about it... it gets me thinking, and writing, which eventually (sometimes!) leads to *insight*.

Why can't T do that?

If he didn't know where I wanted to go with it, why couldn't he say that? Why not just say, "Yes, I've noticed that too. Was there something specific you were thinking about?" or "Yeah, I've noticed that - how do you think your parent's neglect is influencing you in here?"

Or if he was smart and putting together the big picture, "Yeah, that's true. So, are you still struggling with wanting to quit after every other session?" That would show me that he was actually paying attention, and getting the big picture!

Bah. (Sorry I'm still in "therapy sucks" mode!)

*Thanks*
