Last session reminded me how very good my therapist can be. I came in rather irritated about several issues. I guess maybe I'm in an irritable mood. My therapist didn't disagree with a single thing I said, and in fact agreed with most of them. Yet I left feeling much more charitable and reasonable than when I went in. I don't know quite how he inserts those alternate ways of viewing things, without making it at all obvious. Yet he does. It's not just venting. It's the small comments he makes, that seem neutral or supportive, but that make me realize that my way of thinking about things is making me unhappy.
