If you could somehow be your therapist for one session, what would therapist you say to client you?
Does that even make sense? lol Therapist me would say "spit it out already" to client me. Therapist me would be way less patient than my real T. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would hate to have me as a client! I think my T does the best job that she can and says/does the right things already.

I would say "tell me ALL about it" you have as much time as you need, and I'm not going anywhere.

The reason I asked or said X is because of Y. The purpose was to have Z effect on you.

Like HealingTimes, I would also hate to have me as a client. I don't know how my T puts up with me sometimes.
If I was a T and absolutely had to say something nice and "therapy-like" to myself, it would be: "You are like this for a reason and it's not your fault."

Stop thinking and filtering your answers before you tell me....
I know I do it all the time I am trying to work on that...She also knows I do it and is trying to avoid asking questions in a way that allows me to filter.. |

I have actually on this with my therapist. We switched places. But I would have known anyway.
I wouldn't be as good a therapist for myself as my actual therapist is. I do sometimes have questions and ideas when he gets stuck (partly because I'm myself and I know what I nee, partly because I never shut up so I'm bound to find something to say). I'm much more rigid about contact like hugs. Somewhat stricter about initiating things with a client (like how my therapist called to check up on me when I was having a hard time). Though I guess if I as a client asked me as a therapist to do these things (initiate) in order to help and I understood the need for it, I would probably do it. As for saying, pretty much what my therapist is saying, I guess. |

If I had a therapist (I have never had one) I would want them to listen carefully. And then say, I'm so sorry, you have been through so much. You have done the best you could under the circumstances.
Well done x I suppose want validation, so many people if not all will have a 'It wasn't THAT bad, or a 'You are exaggerating' or say *If* what you say is true' or simply call you a liar. Leaving me with no one I can trust to talk to. The last thing I need is yet more invalidation. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
