I was going to shut up, but who are we kidding? I'll just add this:
If you read the whole thing, you will see that after my therapist said he felt hurt, I felt horrible. I immediately jumped to: Why do I hurt everyone? I just blew the whole connection.
Key phrase: Why do I hurt everyone?
Everyone.
Not just my therapist.
Ahh, the beauty of the-and-now of analysis. Yes the therapist-client connection is real, but it is also charged with the transference of everyday relational patterns. They play out in the session and then you get work work on them!
Whee! It's fun! Try it!
