And admittedly this has come to mind because last session I definitely did not say what I thought about something, because it really had nothing to do with me or my therapy. And because not saying something was the polite thing to do.
And because I talked to him about something very important to me, and he answered with apparent interest and therapeutic exploration. Yet when I asked his impressions, he answered that I had already told him all this, and I should know already how he felt about it and that it wasn't anything he disapproved of. Sigh. It wasn't really a moment to tell me I wasn't telling him anything new. It was a reminder of the drawbacks of very long term therapy and total honesty.
