Isn't that an ill placed word?
It almost feels (as I have said all along this past month) as if she is pulling away, reminding herself that she is the neutral party.
Yes I do believe she is trying to teach me something about myself. The lesson being that how I communicate comes across as strong and often that can feel critical. I wish I could remember how she used "harsh" in a sentence again.
I tend to think of myself as more "straight forward". I am what you see. I don't pretend to be someone else.
She asked me again, "What do you want me say?"
I'm starting to think that maybe what is going on has less to do with me, and more to do with her own life. Maybe something is going on there. During her long explanation about the door getting locked last Friday, she said, "I don't know how it happened, I had my hands very full that morning .. I had my laptop, my briefcase, my lunch, some books and I was probably tired." WOW - I was her first appointment and she was already tired. And then she continued with more explaining --- more than I needed to hear about the lock and the cleaning people from the building.
Or maybe it is me and I exaccerbate her patience. Maybe I am too much.
Oh well.
