Oh, the other question I asked him was about another statement he had made years ago. He said that he was afraid of slaying Grendel in therapy for fear of arousing the wrath of Grendel's mother. He didn't remember saying that to me, but said he believed he said it because he loves "Beowulf". Yeah, like we don't recall every word they ever told us in nearly nine years of therapy. :)
Anyway, he says he uses that imagery for therapy in general, not just for me. That he always worries that slaying the smaller monster will reveal a bigger one.
But he also said after all this time he doesn't really expect any monstrous surprises are lurking. And that he doesn't remember any Grendel's mothers appearing in my therapy.
