to therapist: "Do I text you too much?"

How would your T respond?

Yeah, I think our Ts always prefer us to be direct and honest with them in person. Don't they get that its soooooo much easier in writing?!

"Do I text to much?"

T would say: "I am always blessed by you sharing with me. Your texting has never been a burden." I know he would say this...because he has...multiple times.

Regarding piercings, I have no idea...maybe ask me what I liked about piercings or something...

Statement to T: "It hurts that you couldn't find a way to ground me before I went home tonight!" (My T will probably apologize if I say this to him and ask for input).

Question to T: "Will you come sit on the same side of the room with me, so I can feel more secure by sensing your presence?" (I have a feeling my T would say he can't and try to suggest other ways to get at that secure feeling).

LG, Funny thread!!

DF, can you share your T's interpretation? Only if you want.

To my T: I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.

T: Yes, Is that it?

Me: No, that's not it. I hate you a lot. I hate you even more. I hate you for making this so hard for me and not giving me what I need. I hate you for thinking that I'm coming to see you because I'm hoping this relationship will develop into a romantic relationship. I hate you because you are not appreciating how much I want to heal.

Whew, I feel better already!!! Thanks, LG.
