You understood the context. Thank you for that. I was a bit sorry I'd posted it, since it might seem rather unprofessional out of context.
Yes, the conversation in fact was part of a running joke/discussion about the fact that I trust him more because he says such rude and unseductive things occasionally. He tends to be more honest about his feelings about me and therapy than most therapists would be willing to do, and most clients would be willing to hear. But somehow those things make me feel better, not worse. Safer.
As I always say, how can you *not* trust someone who occasionally blurts things that aren't very complimentary to himself or to me.
Still, there's no denying that my safety in therapy depends on his character. Trying to understand that character is definitely protection for me.
