A couple of weeks ago, my T said something about having a hard time reading me. As we talked about it, I mentioned that I thought I probably had just as hard a time reading her. Her response was that if I ever want to know what she was thinking, all I have to do is ask.
Today, I was having a hard time talking and said I thought a lot of it was because the stuff that's been going on lately is little stuff with my parents...just them being who they are....things I talk about all the time. She said she didn't really think that's why I was having trouble. And I asked her what she thought it was. She said, "I guess I could turn that back on you. We've talked about it a little before, I think."
So, all I have to do is ask, huh? Interesting.
I didn't say anything. It felt awful, though. After a couple of minutes, she asked if it felt unfair for her to do that. All I could do was shake my head. Doesn't leave me feeling terribly inclined to ask any more questions.
Would you guys mention a contradiction like this to your T? Or just let it go?
