Anyway, I will share some...and then if you have any you want to share...would love to hear them
So, this particular day he asked me about a sensitive subject..
Me: "I don't want to talk about it."
T: "Why don't you want to talk about it?"
Me: "You're the expert! You tell me!"
T: "You're the one avoiding the subject, so, you tell me."
I can't count the number of times I have gotten up to walk out...just this last week actually and he would say, "You have 30 minutes left. You need to come back over here and sit down so we can finish talking about this."
One time I was having such strong emotions coming up that I literally felt I wanted to run away (seems to happen a lot). I told him I had to go...to get out of there to go run...he said, "You can go running in 15 minutes when the session is over..."
One week we had a very difficult session...
Me: "I am not allowed to ask questions?"
T: "Not if it's to trump the Therapist!"
Me: "I don't know what to say to that..."
We were both not happy with each other that week and so the following week..it seemed we were on a collision course again...
Me: "I am not going through what we went through last week again..."
T: "I am definitely not going through what we went through last week again..."
It's funny now...it certainly wasn't funny when it was happening in the office...
