... And don't forget to vote! This is going to be a close one AGAIN! Maybe they'll count it correctly this time.
Anyway, on a similar note as Rubenstein's, sometimes I think my T gets a distorted view of my life. I go to there discuss difficulties I encounter with my husband, children, other people.
But certainly, that is not who I am as a total person. And of course, she does know I am not a total failure. But I don't go to my sessions to chat about my weekend. When I brought up this point, she said something along the lines, *this is your time, you can talk about whatever you would like.* Sure, but I'm not spending $140 to discuss "Desperate Housewives" or the current book I'm reading.So I agree with your point, they tend to see the sadder, more difficult, part of our lives. But I do think they understand that. That is their job.
And a difficult job at that.
