Thanks for the welcome back. It's nice to feel welcome.
As for the brownies, I think I'll bring doughnuts instead. And perhaps milk.. How's that for butt kissing? That'd be falling back into my old evil ways though, wouldn't it? No, I'd say not...
Don't you hate it when they question everything you do? Like if you eat a brownie it suggests that you're "falling back." Or if you give a deserved compliment, you're doing the ego stroke instead of being sincere. But, at least this session he didn't accuse me of "playing games" (as he calls it) or anything negative. There was honestly nothing negative about it. How great is that? Maybe you could bring in a brownie every week and eat it in front of your therapist to reassure him/her that you aren't back sliding? If nothing else, you can eat in front of your therapist. And nothing's better than teasing a therapist with food and not offering. Well, I guess I don't know that, as I always offer. But, this is the first time I've ever eaten in front of him, other than cashews once. And gum, I always have gum... Is it bad to chew gum in front of a therapist? Nah...
