I'm not the same person at all in therapy. I'm a pathetic mewling whining grasping dependent little worm. Especially mewling and dependent. I absolutely disgust myself sometimes. I walk out of therapy nearly every session saying "I am NOT going to do that next time" but guess what?
I told him what you guys said on this thread, because I was frankly delighted, and he appeared nonplussed. I guess he couldn't relate it to the whimpering and humorless wretch who presents herself each week to therapy.
I will however admit that for my first five to six or seven years of therapy, I was pretty out of touch with my emotions. I rarely cried. It's possible that by the time I got in touch enough with my own emotions to make my stories affecting, he had heard them all before.
