Wow. It's like he's having a different conversation, mainly with himself it would appear. I don't know if transactional is the right word, but he comes across like a cash register or calculator--you enter the worth of your soul and he converts it into his own currency, for his use and meaning. I'm sorry. I don't intend to cause doubt where it's already taking root. I have no way of knowing what's really going on in your therapy, the potential that's not apparent because of your pain--something I grapple with myself, wondering if it's my intuition or my fear that causes this failure to trust in a good outcome.
