> My T and I had a vaguely similar conversation. I asked her if she was scared of my rage that I'm holding onto. She replied, "As long as you use words I am not scared. You can tell me that you want to push my bookcase on my head, but if you act on it, throw a book at me, then I would have a problem." I think your T was setting limits with you. Back to being a grown up.
Sometimes limit setting isn't the right response. :( Or even the most effective response. I'd have quit in a minute if he had shown some kindness. Or asked me to quit for him.
He quite understood that I was hitting myself because I would never dream of hitting anyone else (namely him).
He's an insensitive dolt. He kept arguing that he needed to keep therapeutic neutrality about my upcoming potential move. And I kept arguing back that therapeutic neutrality couldn't exist after eleven years. That being neutral was influencing my decision.
And he was doing his equivilant of "warmly".
Insensitive dolt.
Stupid *ssinine insensitive dolt of a male human being. Stupid stupid Y chromosome. Stupid stupid therapeutic neutrality that comes across as a lack of any sort of human caring. Stupid stupid stupid arms crossed limit setting.
So why do I feel so much better? Except for being afraid he'll get hit by a bus and the last thing I'll remember is his stupid stupid crossed arms?
