Pegasus,
Actually I was not being sarcastic. I did love it when my T told me that "he was very interested in blah, blah, blah and that its not about me, anyway." The feeling this response evoked in me was one of being cared for. For whatever reason, I suddenly felt at ease --supported and cradled. Maybe it was just the circumstance.
You make excellent points, though. There *is* a tension in the room about what they think of us but are not saying. Thats when I want to turn the tables and ask the questions. Another of my T's statements (this one did NOT please me, however) "This is not a symetrical realtionship" I often try to shift the balance of power.
