"teflon" is an interesting way to put it and I'm sure he'll expand on that.

It reminds me of when my son's T asked him if he would like to be able to feel like he had a force shield (he was a teen) around him to keep other's hurtful words from hurting him. A way of having relief from the verbal barbs.

Even when we can recognize that what the other person is saying is about them, not about us, it still can be very hurtful. I think your T doesn't want you to not feel, I think he wants you to be free to feel... Free to feel what you feel without any influence from an abusing narcissist projecting his stuff. I think the teflon idea is that the stuff he throws your way won't stick, so you won't hurt
