>> I like that my T shares, and I don't want him to quit sharing, but some of the stories involve depressing topics like suicide.
*That sort of sounds weird, not to offend you? I don't think I understand what you mean about stories? My T. will occasional tell a story about something in her own life to explain a point she's making, but thats it. Is it stories out of books? or the news? or about himself?
I don't mind not talking about it, but it's hard to know those feelings are there, and not do anything with them. He does say not to pretend they're not there, or say that I feel better about something I don't feel better about.*Yeah. Those past feelings don't seem to go away. My T. I think is more cbt oriented. I think she thinks that all that old sh*t will just go away once you've got enough 'skills' or something. But they don't. They just keep eating away at you. At me anyways.

> As far as the stories, it's hard for me to see what's going on while I'm in my session, I don't get the feelings until afterwards. I can't really process everything until afterwards, when I have time to think about it. The end of the story, or moral, is supposed to be the part I'm hearing, but the moral is getting lost in the depressing stories that come before the moral.*I'm like that. I always write my T. a note afterwards when I've chilled some. I think you should definately tell your T. how you feel about it. Maybe he has some special T. strategy he's working on or something!? I goto wonder sometimes. Those T's, do they REALLY tell you what they are thinking, REALLY?
