I don't believe that honesty has to equate to negativity.
I used to think my T must want to roll her eyes or say "oh just get over it" . But that was MY thinking.
I think T mentioned once, those kind of negative thoughts had been trained out of her. Plus the kind of person she is I don't really think they would have been her default thinking.
We Talked about jury service once and she said she wouldn't be able to do it because she'd find it very it hard to judge.
I struggled with that concept at that time. But as my therapy has got on, I get that.
I see shop lifters get caught at work and and the staff turn animalistic with taunts of "Gggrr. Throw the book at them, thieves!" I used to be like that. But I guess the theraoy I've had gives me the ability to stop and think.
Therapy stretches our limited thinking. Thsts where the "fake honesty" lies. Not in the T, but in our own stretched minds that can only imagine it must be like tthat for others too.
