Yes, the fear of suggestion. It has been a big fear of mine that I am too suggestable and that because of this I need to be extra alert for even the slightest sign of suggestion from my T. I can really understand your frozen moment and the anger coming up and the fear underlying it all.
When things were really bad with my T, we played hangman one day. He made up a phrase and I was guessing the letters. He made up “honesty in therapy” and explained how important it was for him to be honest with me. I had asked him a question about why he thought my past experiences could be labelled as abuse, and he felt it was very important that it be answered honestly.
Like your T’s comment. An honest question. In a way I think that if he had of avoided that question and danced around it (in order to avoid be accused of suggestion), that would be similar to old family dynamics of hiding the truth and leaving things unsaid.
