. I won't share on here but it is rather unusual. What I have learned over the years is that I do not share with people who might think it's made up.
Why does your t even need to know about airplanes or astronauts . Unless it's relevant to your therapy
But if it is important do look for t who can relate
I also agree with others that magical thinking isn't necessarily a lie. I'd ask what she meant

I hear you. There are tons of immigrants in Southern California from all over the world, and I have heard many astonishing stories.
And I agree the particular points aren't so relevant, but more I feel that, if she is going to help me, she needs to understand basically the factual info about me. Otherwise she may end up misdirected onto something by mistake etc.
And I agree and don't deny that I engage in magical thinking (if I understand it correctly). So essentially it's less an argument of being accused of magical thinking, and more that I need her to get the concept of who I am as a person, my background etc., which I would think matters in trying to then provide me with therapy. But I'm sure it's just so early into things and I need to learn how to manage my side of this endeavor?
