Yes, I have wanted to push T away. It was just a few sessions ago. I walked in and told him I really wanted to push him away. He was shocked that I told him rather than acting out. He was very kind about it. T explained that wanting to push him away is often part of the process and it is OK. He said it usually tells him that we are at a spot that the client really needs to work on so he welcomes it... as long as I don’t run away never to return... then he would worry. Because I told him I wanted to push him away he asked if it was OK to keep going with what we had been doing last session or did we need to talk about something else and he gave some options. I decided to keep going. T was even more kind, attentive and supportive and we went until I got too upset. Then, just before I would have disassociated he asked if I wanted him to stop so we did. It ended up being a good session.
