Wow so T was NOT putting up with my games today. At least it was effective at changing my demeanor.

T: How are you feeling?
Me: Pissed off!
T: Why?
Me: Because I hate my life
T: I see your in a bad mood. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
Me: Yup
T: So your just going to be negative all day today?
Me: Yes
T: I'm NOT going to waste the session convincing you to be positive when you don't want to be be.
Me: *Insert stupid look*
T: Ok I'm ending the session.
Me:

Has your T ever gave you a reality check before?

That was the first sentence of the session.

The threat made me take a step back and calm down, I was really amped up and he knew it.

Lol, that would probably have the same effect on me. My T did tell me that I was welcome to leave once when I was complaining about therapy.
Thanks for this!

wait so you did he cut your session short? I think my t would hav wanted to explore why I was feeling angry in the 1st place... cuz I don't usually get angry unless there is something on my mind that is bugging me. I can usually buck up in session otherwise.

No he didn't.

I was angry and upset for a lot of reasons today, which we were able to talk about once I stopped playing games. Which thankfully for me T put an end to pretty quickly today.

SAWE - that would be me. Like eff you are cutting this short.

Lost - it seems like you like the therapist to do this sort of thing with you because you equate it with knowing you and caring? If so then he is a good match for you.

Hahahaha

Too see his reaction to that would have been priceless. I have to admit I was sitting on the waiting room deciding what kind of pissed off games I was going to play with him today, just to see his reactions.

Unfortunately he won.

Well pissed off? Because I'm in a bad mood. Play games, and test his reactions? Idk bored (probably more to it) .. your guess is as good as mine.

I did not mean the pissed off part. I meant the games part. My guess is wanting the therapist to pass a test to show he cares. But that is just my guess.

I kind of wanted to see how he'd handle me being really angry. I don't do that often.

My guess is you do...maybe without even knowing it. T's response to you sounds like this wasn't yawls first rodeo. Is it a control issue...like you want the upper hand? To prevent yourself from being caught off guard or hurt? Just a thought.... I used to play games, with xT and sometimes didn't even know it.

Before therapy in waiting room I was pissed off and bored. I don't get nervous or anything.I'm 100% comfortable with him.

Doesn't pissed off cancel out bored? I hope the appointment helped you get to some resolution over the pissed off and bored feeling if you wanted one.

Trying to decide if I should tell T what really happened today...?

"While I was waiting to see you I was in such a bad mood and so angry, that WELL before you said anything to me, I had decided to play pissed off games with you. Please don't judge me. Part of me wanted to see how'd you react. Part of me wanted to take everything out on you, just because no one else will listen to me. Part of me wonders if you really know how to, or could handle me getting seriously angry. Today, I think part of me just wanted to have more control than you. I feel really bad about it, and I just wanted to be honest about how today went down in my head."

Hmm idk.
