I suppose it's possible that over time I can come to see it as being another instance of stress in his home life causing him to be temporarily insane. Certainly Friday *must* be, to some extent, for him to not only say things he's never said before (even if he's thought them), but to persevere in saying them even when I was trying my best to reflect back to him what I was hearing and how I was understanding it.
Either that or my getting upset with him for some really egregious examples of falling asleep, and telling him for weeks now that I didn't think I could go on this way, made him angry with me. And consciously or unconsciously lash out at me. Even the falling asleep lately has been so aggressive, if that makes sense, that it has seemed like he is trying to tell me something.
I can't continue this way, of course, no matter what his reasons. It's not therapeutic at all. But maybe I can come to see it as not being a negation of the last fifteen years of therapy. Maybe of the last few months of therapy...
