Thanks. No she didnŽt but in earlier sessions we have talked about me liking to dress up and that I like nice manners like being offered water and that IŽm careful about those things myself. As she really stresses the issue around perfectionism, how that is to me and I know IŽm more strict about clothing than average I feel she isnŽt putting it directly to me but she implies my clothing, among other things, is a symptom of my perfectionism.
As she doesnŽt offer water just because she likes it and likes me why should I then take water in her office if all she sees is a sign of narcissistic traits?
As you say sheŽll perhaps not understand exactly why but sheŽll realise I have acted upon something she has done. As she doesnŽt encourage what I do, by that I donŽt mean we shouldnŽt talk about my problems, why should I put energy into acting seriously about therapy? I just as myself those questions.
