that if my exhusband is a misogynist, as I believe he really is, and he's sarcastic and negative, and my therapist likes him, that therapist has elements of those traits in him, as well? Because, I believe that it does. It does follow. Very well.
I was reading Irvin Yalom last night, "Momma And the Meaning of Life" and the chapter on Myrna, Double Exposure, was fascinating. Because I know therapists have these feelings about their clients, but would never admit to it unless trapped into it. I say, Good for Myrna, and also, sheesh, the conceited *ssholes, it really didn't help to know how shallow some therapists really are. Unless forced out of it. And us, too, I can be really shallow. But I think I'm learning when that is, most of the time, now. But I used to see that look on my T's face, the one that said, oh yuck, what an idiot she is. Is she a moron, really? And the frustration, too. It's true to some extent that we pick up on their unconscious and unspoken feelings. It can be really hurtful.
