>Do you think that's what we're looking for? Daily stroking? Self indulgence?
I don't presume to know what everyone is looking for. I said I wouldn't mind receiving what I do from T sessions on a daily basis. I said undivided attention, listening and psychological help and soothing. Stroking and self indulgence is your interpretation of what I said. To me it means the help I get from sessions.
>I think at this point, I'll just say that I understand that you don't understand. My therapist says that to me all the time. With a little smile that drives me nuts. So I won't smile.
Yes, it may be I do not understand certain therapist/client dynamics. I wouldn't appreciate my T telling me I don't understand something with a clever smile. I would ask her to tell me in itty bitty baby words to help me understand if that was the case. ;>
