I have seen my T for 8 years and I am in my early 50's and he is in his early 60's. Sometimes we connect around how awful the online world is -- I don't do Facebook or other media and he says that half the disputes people talk about in therapy as couples are about Facebook or texts. We discuss how out of step we are with using technology although I pretty much run out and get the newest version of i phone when it comes out.

But even though we don't use technology like a lot of people do, both of us are reasonably competent with being able to use it and savvy about what's going on in the younger persons' world. He sees a lot of younger clients and I have a teenager going off to college in a bit more than a year.

We connect around some lifestyle issues, about taking time to yourself and staying away from people that make you crazy, being straight with people while trying to be as kind of possible. And the difficulty of dealing with the relentlessly entitled people who cross our paths. The importance of creativity and being true to yourself and your experience.
