But...
Isn't it nice to be able to talk about what really is the hardest thing in the world to talk about, without feeling like I'm fishing for compliments? To have my therapist acknowledge the reality of what I'm discussing, instead of trying to paper it over with positive affirmations, lets us really discuss it. And it really is something to discuss.
If he denied that it was true, conversation kind of ends there. Or gets diverted into an argument of the relative truth.
How is it possible to truly discuss this, without being honest. It's hard enough as it is.
