>Since I know you guys understand what it feels like, am I missing something? Are my therapist and I talking at cross purposes? Are we using the same words in the same way?I don't think so. Your reasoning seems clear and very different from his. (Yours sounds more reasonable.)
>Is he really a pompous *ss? How did he manage to cover up this fact in a long history of appearing to be open to the possibility of being mistaken?
He could be a pompous *ss. Seems many people take turns being one. It may not be a terminal condition for him. Maybe he really was out stripped momentarily. Someone above said he comes around in his appraisals.
One maybe positive action is that he p*ssed you off but good and your own constructive response is starting a time chart.
If that indeed is helpful to you, even if dropped later.Sometimes anger is a great motivator for me, and I just look and look at why I needed to get angry in order to over-ride my inertia. Inertia is a very real force in this world, however one deals with it.
Sometimes it is the chaos or percieved chaos that incites procrastination. As in ADD types, for instance. So, yes, his answer seems facile to me.
I think this will come up in session again. Hope you are feeling a bit better by now.
I dig a pony.
