Bud, thats excellent insight. The thing is, being told yes is also annihilating, as it does equate to incest. Being told no is annihilating because the child or client THINKS they are in control, but they never can be. It would be like reenacting and gratifying the child's fantasy (of being in control), instead of letting the child face and deal with his or her angry feelings. Ooh - which still lurk in me. And which a person can "inherit" from the parent. Thanks for continuing this discussion. Pc IS like therapy - we just keep peeling off those onion layers!.
