I hate when my therapist turns on the problem solving channel and I'm still over at the Hallmark channel. But he is pretty good about recognizing that he has done that and will acknowledge that all I wanted was tea and sympathy. And then again, he will note that therapy isn't always a feel-good endeavor. To really get anything out of it, it hurts sometimes.
I think I've come to realize that it isn't that *I* think there is a right or wrong way to do therapy -- I think *he* thinks there is a right and wrong way. So if I don't know what he is thinking, how can I do what he wants me to? This is my basic pathology. I know where it comes from but changing it is super hard.
Thanks for the support. I'm sorry you understand and can relate so well.
