Miss C your "yessing him to death." comment caught my attention. During my last session, I had forgot to take my Adderall so...I think I was a bit impulsive. When I sat down and reflected on the session the next day, I realized that there were a few times during the session when the kid in me slipped into the ...yea,yea, yea, y-e-s got that, whatever... pattern where I wasn't really LISTENING to what was being said. The things my T was saying, I had either realized on my own or...she was deliberately repeating for a reason. The next day I connected the dots, which is good. I wonder how aware my T was of this.
What snapped me out of this mode was when she started reading off some of the labels I had written acrossed and image I drew a few weeks before. I didn't like hearing these and became a little more attentive to what I was yessing.
