I guess we all respond differently. My therapist's laid back, nonconfrontational, style suits me. He's more likely to ask nonpointed questions. Or accept something outrageous that I'm saying. Or a lot of time he points things out in stories rather than directly. He may lead me to a thought, but he makes me say it.
In Wednesday's show Paul reminded me more of my therapist. Which makes sense really given our relationship. He wasn't as direct with her. And his less direct and gentler approach got through to her where directness wouldn't. That's really much closer although I'm not nearly as angry as she is. I'm more of a daddy's girl with him.
I told him the other day that I thought I was a daddy's girl without a daddy. He thought that was very insightful of me. :D
