I may not be acurate but it feels like my T says what he thinks I need. EXAMPLE Monday I had a really hard time as it was our first session after his Christmas break. I think I was more upset than I realized that he hadn't offered to make contact during our break. I started crying which is very unusual for me (and I hate it). When he realized I was upset as he didn't offer to make contact he looked at me and said "I'm glad to see you today". If he would have said that at the beginning of the session I would have thought he could have been sincere. However, when the session was ending and he said that it just felt like he was saying what he thought I needed...it actually hurt! Then I step back and wonder if my analysis is warped :)...I hate it when I need therapy to figure out therapy!
