I think my T1 gets bored when I talk about my exhusband. She always changes the subject when I start talking about him.

If a T is bored they are doing something wrong. Being inauthentic themselves, failing to challenge the client or move into the 'real' stuff, or failing to connect with the real significance of the situation.

Constantly. My problems are not that interesting nor have I suffered great abuse. I am the garden variety anxious type who should be told to grow up and move on.

You know what...of all the things I project he is thinking, that I am boring is the last thing that would occur to me. Every once in a while, we start discussing my Japanese studies and then I cut it short as irrelevant, but he always seems disappointed...maybe because school is one of the only topics I can confidently and competently discuss and actually maintain eye contact.

Now, I will probably be looking for signs of boredom next session (kidding).

I bored mine right into nodding off one day.

sometimes I think they change the topic to piss you off, you know?

Agree with stoppers statement. Also I have seen him for so long and continue to work on the same issues that continue to flare up he probably could counsel me while he's sleeping. Maybe I need a new P?? NO WAY!!!

Maybe I need a new brain. That's more like it.

If T is feeling bored then I think it's something they need to work out on their end.

I don't think I bore my T, his job is to listen. Personally, I don't think any of your other T's are bored either - it's their job to listen to you!

My T has some kind of sleep problem because he yawns a lot. He catches himself a lot and cuts himself off yawning, it's kind of funny. Even with all the yawning, I don't think I bore him. (I'm in denial, right?) ~D.

I am convinced that I bore my T to tears and that he forgets all about me the moment we sign off. That's probably why I used to be in such constant contact with him- I didn't want to give a chance to forget my existence. I wonder if that worked? (currently on day 8 of absolutely no contact )

I don't think I bore my T. We always have so much to talk about and I find him endlessly fascinating and willing to go where I need to go. I may think I frustrate him a bit because I can be stubborn. My T has told me a few times how much he enjoys our sessions and we are never quiet in there LOL...we both love to talk.

I asked T1 today if I bore her and she laughed really loudly and gave me a very genuine, "no".

Awwwww, lg, i love getting responses like that from T!

If i'm boring him he lets me know by commenting on the surface material I've talked about, and ask if im feeling a block from going deeper. But most of the time when he looks at the clock and it the end of the session he says something like, "That felt like 5 minutes!!"
