Does your T ever use these to try and lighten things up when it gets particularly intense; or wading into serious areas or you are very upset?
and if they do ... how do you react to them?

my T can sometimes have a way of making the most serious thing seem a bit ridiculous when things get to intense for me and it makes me smile or even giggle sometimes

The therapist used to try. I finally got her to stop. First, she was terrible at it and her timing was all wrong. Second, if I need something lightened - I will do it myself.

No my T is ok with discomfort. It's me that makes the comments.

At times, yes. It isn't incompatible with discomfort, though, it's just his personality.

Usually its when the session is coming to an end and she doesn't (i guess) want to leave on a bad note. She still talks about what we're talking about but she'll bring up a light-hearted comment about it, or laugh light heartedly in response to my "omg we're back on this again..." face

I usually make light hearted comments to dismiss things. So she doesn't really do that and is working on me not doing that... yeah that'll never happen.

Actually, I'm the lighthearted playful one. And, I try to get him to lighten up. He maintains his serious, conservative stance and I try to get him to smile and join in my playfulness.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. |
