Some years back, I wanted to tell my therapist that I hadn't told someone I was his client, but all of a sudden I felt extremely lazy, and instead of saying "that I'm your client" I just said "that I'm yours". I immediately understood the slip and felt a bit embarrassed. My therapist didn't get it though and he said that I'm my own or God's or life's, but not his. From his tone of voice, it was obvious he did NOT see the transferrential material in there ... the only thing I learned was that my therapist didn't get that dynamic. I think it was a very funny moment though.
