I'm not really sure what is different. Some day I'll ask him.
We talked about how his goal wasn't to destroy me in every session. How I should be able to function after therapy. We talked about how I might expect that if I were destroyed that it would mean that I was working "harder" - but that wasn't what he had in mind.
From my perspective, he stopped arguing so much. He stopped challenging me as much. I don't know if he actually changed what he was doing.
For my part, I tried to see that functioning after therapy was a goal. This sort of was part of the "even if you get better, you won't lose therapy" discussion. Sort of that I didn't need to *prove* that I was a mess in order to stay in therapy.
I am interested to know if he changed, if I changed, or if we both did. But I haven't asked him yet...
