That's it!!! That's exactly what I did at the appt the other day. When my psychiatrist asked me questions I honestly couldn't remember. So I said that I couldn't. It was like I went numb when he asked. I just wonder what I am trying to protect myself from? I really like my psychiatrist, he is a great doctor and a very fine human being, a real family man, reputable in my community, etc. I know I would have no problem sharing with him, I've done so in the past, he's seen me bawl my eyes out.
Thank you for that website, thanks so much!
I have some reading to do there.

> My understanding is that resistance is when you are avoiding an issue. But more than that, it is when you are UNconsciously avoiding the issue. So, for instance, if you have a fight with your mother and you go to therapy, but in front of your therapist you can't remember what she said - that is resistance. Many times I think that resistance is caused by fear - you are trying to protect yourself.
