I guess I shouldn't ask questions I don't want to know the answer to. I was looking for reassurance, not honesty! He does try really hard to be honest with me though, and I suppose I should appreciate that. Maybe another time...
I love reading Yalom! Wouldn't you love to have him as a therapist (at least if he actually is as he portrays himself?).
I'm not sure how useful it would be for my therapist to use his countertransference reactions to see how I interact with the world. I am pretty much a whole different person in therapy. I agree with the idea in concept, but honestly, you wouldn't recognize the therapy client me. No one would. I guess that's bad in a way because I can't use the relationship as a microcosm of my other relationships. Maybe the first five years or so we could/did.
