Oh yes, I have certainly done the 45 minutes in silence thing. In fact, I just had a session like that too.
My therapist gets angry about it. He thinks I am being obstinate or sometimes he says "testing" him. But it is so not true. It is everything gone to mush and the longer it goes on the worse it gets but yet I can't find a single word to break out of it. I move my mouth but I don't know what to fill it with.
I love Alex's explanation. "Challenging feelings with cognitive restructuring"
When my T accuses me of acting like I'm in junior high school detention, or says with a sneer "I can count the number of words I've gotten out of you in the last 6 months." Then I can say, "Well excuse me, but I am having challenging feelings with cognitive restructuring."
Actually I think Alex is right on. Maybe she can call our Ts :)
