One minute you are told to open up, let people know you have feelings... bah...bah..bah..Then you also get the Teflon speech.

Sunrise, you have to assess exactly what he meant by being teflon -- whether to try to increase your ability to cope with the attempted slights by others, or whether he meant you need to become unaware again. Maybe the T needs to clarify?

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">Pachyderm, when you put it that way, I know that my T would not want me to become unaware. He is not in favor of that at all. Thanks for reframing that for me.

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
