I want my t to always be honest and straightforward. That being said, I want my t to be able to explain themselves when they do make blunt statements such as what yours said.

I actually like when my therapist makes retorts such as that because while jarring, it often makes me think about other aspects of my life. And mockingly sounding or not, usually my t's comment holds some grain of truth. How we move forward from a comment like that has a lot to do with how tactifully t can explain her comment.
