Terrics,
You certainly have my number. I MUST be "right". Being "wrong" is unacceptable (it makes me "bad", "evil"). We are talking in therapy about my view of right and wrong. I know that at some point I will need to moderate my view on this, but, to be honest with you, moving even one millimeter scares me to death. Even just turning my head on this scares me to death.
Clearly this is a core issue for me. And we talked about it last session. Perhaps this helps to explain why therapy is SO stressful for me these days.
I said something last session about having fewer expectations about what would happen during a session, about trusting him more, about letting him have some control. And I said something about when he was in control (and I wasn't) that I was neither right nor wrong. It made sense at the time, but I don't understand it now. I am SO confused! This shakes the very foundation of my being.
