> I was thinking about the thread above about "standard" therapy questions or phrases, which turned into pretty much what not to say. So how about this question: What has your therapist said or asked that surprised you? I guess I'm thinking about this because today I was genuinely surprised.

> I had a terrible session on Monday, was withdrawn and hurting and had HUGE anxiety going in today. I kept floating away and couldn't keep a train of thought. I told him that I'd been tracing the ceiling for the last 20 minutes, even as I had rattled on about essentially nothing.

> He said, "Are you still up there?"
>
> I nodded yes but said I was trying to come down.
>
> He said, "Can I come up there with you?"
>
> I didn't expect that! It was so sweet and so sincere that broke through my defenses.
>
> My response was, "I don't know. No one has ever wanted to before."
>
> He said he'd take that as a yes and he would love to come and see things from my view up there. He also said, "I told you I'm here for you, even if here is up there."

> (Pass the kleenex please.)
