I'm going to remember this way of putting the distinction. It's much clearer than what I was thinking.
You know, I am wondering if perhaps there is some element of countertransference here. The session before this one I brought in a sheaf of abstracts and articles relating to my theory that my mental health and other issues are related to dysfunction of the HPA axis, and a super-sensitivity to cortisol. At the time he asked me if I could read those things, and admitted that he didn't know that much about any of it. I wonder if this week he was trying to point out how much he knew. He did tell me I should read about repetition compulsion.
Or maybe he drinks.
