I love that!!!
It's exactly how he'll see it. If he sees it as anything but that, I'd be enormously surprised.
> So what I guess I'm saying, it's always a worthwhile question that leads me down different paths depending upon what else is going on in my therapy.
True enough, and perhaps the meaningful question (or at least the question that's more likely to be answered) is why it's important for me to ask it right now. Is it because I am feeling confident in his caring for me that I am wanting to know what he *thinks* rather than *feels*?
> It's okay to want to know. I have asked her, "I want to know what you would tell your husband about me." That question, she doesn't answer.
Whoah. I don't think I want to think that my therapist tells his wife anything about me. Although I've referred to it myself, since I'm the nutty patient who tracked him down during Katrina.
I prefer to think that his worlds don't collide.
