Hi guys!

I've wound up with Mr T. Spent most of the time talking about Madame T. Mr T made a very interesting comment: he lets the patient keep his power. He says this is his training and his inclination.

I wonder what Madame T would say to that. Because I feel she actively tried to deprive me of my power.

I said to Mr T that perhaps I have been trying too hard and too long at therapy. Perhaps I should take a sabbatical? He said he thought that was a good idea.

I said to him some of the things I wanted to say to Madame T. At the end he said:

Mr T: I've enjoyed being Madame T.
Me: Probably more than she did.

We agreed that the creative visual exercises (drawing, small figures exercises) work well for me. Also, affirmations are powerful.

I thought Mr T was good for you, wasn't he the Aspergers T? Would you go back to him after your sabbatical?

Yes, he's Aspergers T. He would be happy to see me again. W thinks I will need to see him again at some point.

He did hint that I might be too sane (sic!) to be helped.

An amicable parting.

This does sound good. Why were you in therapy to begin with? Has that problem worked out?

Long story. Somewhere around here is a list of Madame T's successes.
I was always angry and had constant clashes with authority. Also I was depressed. And hated my mother.

I love your sense of humor, CE. And congratulations on your amicable termination. Mr. T sounds like he was good for you.

Sorry that you are ending with him, I am ending with my Therapist next week but they have already scheduled me to meet with someone new the following week. Maybe you need to decide if you work better with Males or Females, I have determined that I work best with Females which is why I made sure that my next Therapist was Female (I was originally assigned a Male but they switched me to a Female).

I also have Asperger's so I also like seeing people who are good in dealing with people who have it.

Yes, he was good. But Madame T dug deeper and reached places he never went.
