I just read this and it really helped me see some things about therapy that I did not think about in this way before. Watch out, T!! Now I will feel much braver telling him about stuff he may do that bothers me.

This is so interesting, thanks for posting. Of course I'm halfway through the article and had to look away because I'm already transferring my annoyance with my T's crappy math to the author of the article. !!!! lol
Thanks for this!

Thanks again for the link. I just found another one with this quote and I love it!!

Quote:
You are paying for therapy so that the discussion can continuously be all about you. So that I can, regularly and to the best of my ability, set aside my own s*** to meet you on your terms.
Thanks for this!

Thanks for this, WePow. I read this and a couple of other articles. Insightful. We see plenty on the client's side, but not much from the T's perspective.

You and I have a problem with this forum and work, don't we? I should be working also, but it's Friday and I REALLY don't feel like it!

Ok I just read this one and the work guys keep trying to find out what I am laughing about - but I will never tell!

"
I flare my nostrils. Squint my eyes, furrow my brows, and lean forward, cocking my head slightly to the side. No matter what, I do NOT open my mouth, widen my throat, put my hand to my mouth, or even drop my jaw with lips shut tight. I’ve invented a displaced yawn that relies entirely on the nostrils and sinus cavities.
I hope that it looks like I’m trying to remember something just out of reach. Or am suddenly having an deep idea. More likely it looks like I am about to stroke-out. Inside my skull it feels like the deep intake of air might pop my eyes right out of my head (hence the squint). "

great article/website wepow! it is reassuring to hear from a therapist that is so well-grounded and expects and accepts all those negative feelings towards them. my therapist has told me that it is ok to get mad at her/she knows i'm making progress if I DO get mad at her. I think she is crazy
Thanks for this!
