Well, coming from the extreme optimist here, I think he was genuinely showing that he thought maybe the tapes would help you in some way. I don't think that he was pressuring you to quit therapy or anything like that. Maybe he was saying, "Hey, maybe you could try these tapes as well? I saw something that might help you out." I know that if I have a friend who is interested in cooking and I see a new cookbook, I tell her about it. It isn't to suggest she is a bad cook, it's to say, "Maybe there are some new recipes you could explore." I think that's what he was trying to say.... Maybe you could look at it that way, even if in fact that wasn't his intention at all... Maybe it's all about how you interpret things, even if it isn't a person's motivations.... Hey, maybe this positive self talk crap is really working? Or maybe I really need to call my Pdoc :(
And I'm SO proud that therapy has helped replace your old coping mechanisms! That's so wonderful.
