>I've known people who have described whole long drawn out fantasies about their Therapists during sessions, with encouragement from the Therapist.Wow! Now that takes courage! I'm not exactly sure I could go into details.
It is about building trust -- and this is such an intimate subject -- you must trust him to be so open.I do trust him. It feels good to finally say that too. And I don't really trust many people. Especialy men.
Watch that you aren't spending too much time thinking up things to sayhow do you mean? I spend quite a bit of time thinking up things to say and I actually admitted it at the last session. I anticipate what he might say back, and what I might say in return. I try to prepare a script. Ugh. I just want to please him.
