I know my T has gone through her own psychoanayst so its not just what shes been taught, its part of her own experience that she uses. A couple of sessions back she said to me "and how does that make you feel"? and I started to laugh and said that is such a clique question, and she laughed and said " i know thats why I dont use it much" but I think the point was, I was drifting and she was just using a gentle question make me aware of myself...its not something she uses often...
