What is the most shock-worthy or mouth-dropping thing you've said to your T?

What can you just not believe you said?

One of my best is one that is just fresh from this past Saturday.

I said to him:

I've been thinking... if I could only get you to be attracted to me, then I could terminate therapy and my work here would be done!

He then asked about that and I said:

You'd be just another notch on my belt!

Hahahaha, where does this stuff come from?

One of my other famous ones is when I suddenly blurted out:

I hate your stupid wedding ring! I really can't stand looking at it anymore!!

What are some of yours?

While having this intense conversation inside my head as he is encouraging me to TELL HIM something I really don't want to tell him -

He is steadily talking and the part of me in my head is going, "Shut up, can't you see I'm trying to f*cking think here?

So. . .I look up, and homeboy's mouth is hitting the ground.

Oooops. . .I said THAT one out loud.

I still like the day I was arguing run-of-the-mill psychology theory for all I was worth and then realized I was arguing with someone who had a doctorate in the subject? This wasn't something open to "opinion" was actual, known theory.

These are 3 things I can remember saying that really made him sit up and take notice, or react very strongly emotionally.

1) "Sometimes I don't know who you are when I come here. Are you my therapist today?"
That comment really got my T's attention! I swear his ears swiveled forward like a horse's.

2) "I'm having trouble with the frame." (the therapeutic frame)
Same reaction--immediately attentive, ears swiveling forward. LOL

3) "I plan to tell my husband I want a divorce by handing him the papers."
(This is what my lawyer had told me to do.) T seemed to get really pissed off about this to me. He was, frankly, appalled. At the next session, I told him he had seemed appalled, and he said, you're right, I was appalled. And then we explored that.

Of course there's the stuff one's T says that one can't believe they said? I said something one session and my therapist's reply was, "Ah, you're stubborn," like that was the most obvious, natural fact in the world. I think I "sputtered". My thought was, "she can't say that can she?"

he made some point and i meant to say that i should have realised that myself and that i felt like an idiot for not having done so... but what i said was "that's idiotically obvious." And to emphasize what i'd done i started babbling about how i didn't mean to call him an idiot...

and everytime he mentions CBT or brings up something which is obviously a CBT technique i smile sweetly and say "those dirty CBT'ers"

oh god.. this was just today..

he always uses the word "uncomfortable" to describe stuff one might feel when in therapy... i have always maintained uncomfortable was inadequate at best. SO, for fun, i made a list of what i felt were better words from the thesaurus and took it to him. He thought this was pretty funny and triedto defend the generic nature of using "uncomfortable." At this point i said "agony works, depair and misery work..... GAS makes you uncomfortable!"

and once, when he was trying to think of a word and was stuck i told him to do an interpretive dance. He was laughing and said then i'd never come back.
