Yes. I have had a few. One that I remember vividly is when he and I were talking about black and white thinking...or maybe more I was talking. He was sort of sitting there nodding. I said that I didn't think I had a huge problem with it. I am able to hold two ideas in my head at once. I gave the example of I can be really mad at him and think he screwed up, but at the same time I can still believe he is a good therapist. Sometimes I'm not sure he appreciates my examples.
But then like 5 minutes later I was talking about how I ate a donut, and what a horrible, terrible person I was. And he didn't say a word. He just looked at me. And I said something like, huh...seems like maybe if I can do whole not black and white thinking thing with other people, I ought to be able to learn to do it to myself.
And I remember that still. And I also kind of feel like a donut now.
