Thank you, fleeting flutterby. (I have always loved your name!)
The funny thing is that while my therapist says things that ought to be horribly offensive, in practice they really aren't. They're just honest and speak to the level of trust we both have in the relationship.
But this time, it really wasn't all that offensive. In context, I was talking about being sane, and he was agreeing that I was indeed sane, that he always considered me more neurotic. He's old enough that I think he used that term as meaning not psychotic, in the old neurotic/borderline/psychotic sense that has fallen out of usage.
It just sounds funny when it is said out loud.
