yeah, exactly. sometimes i feel a little like she could be brainwashing me. i mean, if she insists that i'm angry, i start to interpret things as anger, or maybe i get angry because she's insisting i'm angry! i start not knowing what's real and what she thinks is real and i almost want to get angry to please her, you know?yes, we should keep up this dialogue. it could be helpful.
> I still don't understand how we are supposed to figure out what we do that is motivated by our unconscious. By definition, we don't know about it! My therapist often asks me to "consider the possibility that..." So I don't have to agree with him when I can't see it yet, but it opens my mind to looking at whether his explanation might have merit. Over time, his ideas sometimes start to make a lot of sense. Does that mean that he is right, that my unconscious is doing that? Or am I reframing my world to fit his? I'm so confused!
