I shocked him:). He had no idea he had triggered me so hard. He thought it was perfectly neutral to say : "You are...." "You are..." "You are....".
I walked in, said I was upset and said that the session was mine and that I was about to own it. I then walked up to the whyteboard in his room and in a cool and structured way give him a presentation of me and my life, using reday-made slips and magnets. I said that even if I sidetracked here and there so it annoyed him, he'd have to live with it.
He concluded that I had been subject to an incredible amount of abuse and that I had developed a hell of a lot of capabilities.I felt good about myself afterwards. I had collected on a spreadsheet at home the defining moments in my life, and, stepping back and looking at it I could see that I had survived a hell of a lot of difficulties. In other words, I am strong as hell. So I am going to start to regard the negative experiences as a treasure. I've learnt a hell of a lot from them.
From now on I will look forward. I'm going to make a spreadsheet of all the fun things I would like to do in future. I'm going to be nice to me. I deserve it:)So does everyone else on this list.
