You know, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I hadn't realized that him asking me how hard I wanted a session to be was really a question about what *I* wanted to happen next. Duh.
I think I described it poorly. It was maybe more the first time he'd actually taken the tact of, "I'm thinking of doing something and I'm telling you about it right now." Before, he's been a terrific listener, warm, funny, friendly, and refreshingly quick to *get* what has gone on with my former T. He's also come up with excellent analogies and examples. (In other words, he keeps up with me intellectually. Arrogant, perhaps, but I'm pretty intelligent, and just can't abide doing this kind of therapy work with someone who seems to act...well,...dumb. I'm terrible, but there it is.) Anyway, he was always responding to something I said. This time, he just proposed something sort of on his own. That's what I liked.
Just wish to heck I could remember more than 50% of the session. But, that's an indication it was digging a bit deeper, 'cause that used to happen with old T. and I recognize the similar type of *blanking out* after a session. Frustrating.
Thanks again for your insight. It's always so very much appreciated.
