"Of course, if I'm falling apart, it's good that one person in the room is remaining sane"
That's almost exactly the words my therapist used, only in reverse of course.
And... Today's session was back to frustrating. I told him that he withheld his thoughts too much and it made if feel like we couldn't go any deeper than the surface. He worked on sharing his thoughts and complained that it was hard because he felt like I wasn't considering what he said - just defending my position. And I told him I was getting the exact same feeling from *him*. Which he admitted was possible, that we were both doing it to each other. So I suggested that next session we do that role switching game, which at least closed the session on a laugh from him.
Argh.
