Soccer Mom, I feel like I can relate to almost every single one of your posts. This quote from you just gave me one of those "aha" moments. This describes exactly how I feel during sessions with my T. I've never thought of it like this but it makes so much sense!
It's also good to know that your T doesn't always say the stuff that she knows you want to hear. My T knows that I sometimes say stuff to people to get them to say what I want to hear so she is careful not to give in when I try to do it to her (consciously or unconsciously).
