In reply to Feeling Anal..., posted by thewriteone on April 30, 2004, at 22:29:22
lol. i used to tease miss honey all the time because she would prepare a therapy agenda for mr. bean, her therapist. so, you think you are anal for creating an outline?
when i had individual therapy, i would bring my journal. before therapy, i too would outline points and subpoints and reasonings for those reasonings and on and on.... and i did this before every session. and because i didn't want to get backed into a corner and not have a response for anything he had to say. in fact, several times it would head, "if he answers yes, go here..." "if he answers no, go here..."
so, i hope that answers your question. or at least makes you feel less anal by pointing out how very anal i am :) (again, i just imagined the worst and wanted to be prepared with a response, even though most of the time i would end up answering "i don't know" when II. A. b. 2 specifically said to answer "because your mother didn't give you cookies at mcdonalds.....)
