I had my weekly session today, during which at some point there was some silence. After a bit, T asked me whether silences like this made me feel nervous/stressed/uneasy? I replied that no, it does not (which is true, I kind of like it quiet even), but that I get the impression it makes him feel that way (mainly because he can't seem to tolerate silence, the most silence we've ever had is for maybe a minute).

My T just kind of chuckled at that. Not in a making fun of it way, it rather sounded like he was acknowledging that that actually happens for him, but he doesn't know what to say or doesn't feel comfortable hearing it. I didn't ask further, honestly I don't really care, I can tell him to shut up if I ever need him to.

But I was wondering what other Ts reactions are when you point out that they seem to have certain feelings or reactions? Just kind of curious.
