with your T?
Because I had mine this week in therapy. It was so inane I had to acknowledge it as such.
It started with an innocuous and clearly out of place notebook lying on a table with magazines in the waiting area of my T's office.
I moved it to see what magazines were under it.
My therapist walks in and with a panic stricken looking face queries "did you move this?" while holding the notebook.
I replied that I did.
(closer to panic) "You didn't look in it did you because it's from another patient."
"No i didn't look in the notebook".
We then spent a good amount of time in the session with him trying to determine if I was mad at him for his demeanor, as if he had slapped my hand over the notebook.
It wound up with me telling him that if it was so fr*gg*ng important why did he just leave it out there where I could get to it? I WAS mad by then. I then indicated that if I had felt slapped, not to worry he would have felt slapped back.
He said "Ah! I knew it"
I then commented that this was one of the most inane conversations I had ever had in my life and that he just got a little wound up over a notebook. It happens, I can deal with it.
No talk about my new diagnosis, how I felt or pretty much anything else. Just the notebook.
Sigh.I left just shaking my head and laughing.
Somedays they can be sooooo off.
Seldom.
