I said yes, it helps me deal with other people who would have similar reactions, and also that I want all parts of the T.
I am in T to learn how to be close to someone else, and that means learning how I affect other people. On occasion T has told me that something I said hurt him to hear or made him a little angry. It was difficult to hear, but also very helpful. I got a chance to practice responding to those reactions, and a chance to reflect on my own behavior.
I don't only want to know about his "good" feelings and reactions.
