 Claire, I love that! Yes, they do disclose quite a bit don't they? My T drives an 80s era mini-van. And he asks me for tips on recycling plastic bottles and getting stains out of his laundry.

Nice post Sunrise. It is an interesting bond indeed. I think that the separateness is good but I do not know that that always clicked in on some emotional level. The vestment is important but they do need to take care of themselves. I am better understanding his needs for boundaries.

I always liked the adage, "Your therapy should be the most important thing in your life but it is not the most important thing in your therapist's life."

I agree but at some point.. I realise that I have been so therapy focused that the rest of my life has been put on hold. Poof. Needing to look forward and less backward.
This is no dress rehearsal.... |

I suppose we wish our T's to empathize...but to what degree? Mine said... no matter what kind of life you are having, my life is just fine. That was an interesting reality. It has stayed in my thoughts for the good part of a week or so. That did kind of hurt but it is a reality...and a separateness. </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> At this point in my therapy, I would probably pass out if my T said this. SG, in what context did he say this in? What was the purpose of his statement? I don't mean to interrogate, I'm just really interested. I want to find out his purpose, and then think about how I would feel in that situation because the focus of my threapy right now has been the separateness between us, or how I perceive it. |
