Actually I think it's the therapist's code to let us do the vast majority of the talking, although ours did tap my toe a couple of times to shut me up!
Interesting, I was reading KAW's threads last night and ran across a time when his W went to see their therapist alone. HE did not feel he had the right nor wanted to ask about it!
THE WEIGHT THING... thank you for being honest, but your words just Jumped out at me. You see, I've not only taught about eating disorders, but I covertly treated a student of mine who is now (5 years later) a good friend.
LL, those feelings you described are pretty much exactly how women with anorexia feel. (No history of this problem???) That the thinness offers a kind of special status, and is sought above all else, but it's an illusion LL!! I'm probably overreacting here, but OH MY GOD if you only knew what my friend and the friends she's made in treatment have gone through! ...Nip this in the BUD!
And as for not asking H for more than you really NEED??? I think we both know you're worth more than that!
...Nip this in the BUD!
