> Sorry that you go through this, too. What did your therapist suggest was the reason for this?
-------------------He never suggested anything. He'd just walk me through a series of leading questions whose purpose was to make me evaluate the validity of my beliefs, and ultimately view them as absurd. This didn't really help.
>If you're like me, don't you try to talk about the topic at hand, but gradually get ignored as they expand upon other topics?
---------------I found it very difficult to put my thoughts into words, especially given the criticism that I knew my statements would be subjected to.
He was never one to introduce topics, so that never threw things off. For the most part, he would freeze the conversation for long periods to examine something that I hadn't phrased well enough to express appropriately.> Take care, and remember, you always have a voice at this site, even if no one happens to respond.
-------------Thanks for the kind words...
