Yeah it gets blurry. My T that I have now is real good at prompting me..by which I mean she will ask me a question to start and I eventually came to realize that she will spends weeks to a month + overlapping by prompting the same or similar question! At first when I realized it, I got weird and stopped talking and just sat there kinda pist. She asked what was wrong? I said you're playing mind games and I don't appreciate it. I don't like being f***ed with! She was very sincere and kind and explained...that, she was not trying to trick me or mess with my head, it's a memory exercise. To both try to up my recall skills and to be able to gauge where I'm at from week to week. She said that she doesn't like using "jogging prompts"..ie..remember last week we were talking about_____?..bc she feels they come off condescending..I thought about it and yeah I have rolled my eyes at past Ts who would do that.. She promised me that she will periodically remind me of this and let me know how I have been doing with it...if I want to know..thats,the other promise is that she wold always openly tell me in next session if anything that was outta character happened..and was that something I wanted to know? I really really like my T. I've had so many that were just useless or were always hiding what they were writing or just being not upfront about their methods. I am confused enough without feeling like my T is keeping stuff from me too! This one is a keeper def.
