Okay, well it sure seems we all need to laugh this week so I thought of another idea (thanks to Jello). When I become lost in thought while in therapy, T says, "What's going on? What just happened? What are you thinking?

Usually, I tell him what I was thinking. Sometimes I have absolutely no clue and sometimes I have no intention of telling him. (ooooooo noooooo not going there today.....)

Jello suggested the following:

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
when T says "sister, what is going on right now? you seem lost in thought.." You can say "i am distracted by that *** print"

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

Now I never said that nor would I! But I have said some ridiculous things such as:

"I was looking at the pattern on the rug."

"I was looking at the pattern on the rug on the wall."

"Is that a new painting over there?"

Do you have any evasive, ridiculous musings to share?

My littles have pointed out pattern on the wood of her door and said "It looks like a set of kidneys". She looked and was like "OMG it DOES!"

"Just thinking about how much I love your pillows"
"Is that a new plant??!"

Usually, my brilliant response is "nothing."

There was one time I was staring into his eyes and thinking about how very, very blue they were, and strange how I had never really noticed that but yet my unconscious had because I'd just had this dream a few nights back in which I was looking into his eyes and they were blue. And I thought how very cool that my unconscious had noticed that T had beautiful blue eyes whereas my conscious had not really known that, etc. And he asks me "what are you thinking?" And I said "oh, nothing." AAAACKKK!

One time....

T: What are you thinking?
Me: Did you know those paintings came from Ikea?
T: I didn't pick them out.
Me: I'm not saying you did. I'm simply pointing out where they came from.

(I don't think we were having one of our more connected sessions that day, haha).

LOL, I misread this and thought this question was part of the three questions you asked him that you wrote above this. I thought you asked this to your T when he asked what you were thinking about, lolol.

OMG Pink

You have to stop!

I am laughing so hard and I have to be at work in two hours with my mature face on.

That means I have to stop playing, shower and well, you know, yuck, be mature.

T: You don't seem connected today.
M: You think?
T: Why are you being resistant to this?
M: I'm emotionally constipated. Guess that makes you the enema.

My T and I once had an office for our sessions across from The National Zoo in Washington, D.C. on Connecticut Avenue. I was sitting there one day, enjoying the view of the ibexes and other odd-looking antelopes and suddenly realized I was in the middle of the Nation's Capital on a busy main street, not in Africa, and I cried out in alarm, startling us both until I explained.

HAH pink i thought the exact same thing about sister's question.

Yea, my brilliant mind always just says "nothing." or the even better, "i don't know." and if i'm feeling particularly resistant...just a shoulder shrug.

This is a good thread...what else can we say to T when they ask what we are thinking, and we really don't know! Usually i'm thinking about what to say to break the horrible silence, but that's not something i've told her i was thinking about.

[chaotic13]

"Uncle"

Will that work in the silence game? Maybe tomorrow I will simply yell UNCLE and try to "tap out" of the match.. Oops the latter won't work.. not allowed to touch..I'll give the "T" sign and call for a time out. Maybe a caucus is in order.

I hate the F*en silence....are you allowed to just scream and pull your hair out? I'll leave my assprint and hair on the ugly couch for the next client tomorrow.

"What are you thinking?" -- Thoughts.

"Where did you go?" - Away.

"Do you know what is happening and you just don't want to tell me?" Probably. "Are you going to tell me?" Probably not.

"Is it OK if we are just quiet a little while?" No - but we already have been.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">sister, when I first read this, I also thought it was something you said to your T. I kind of thought it was cool! And hilarious! Why don't you say this to your T next time?

If Sister doesn't want to, you know I'll be the first to volunteer to pilot this one on Saturday.
