Thank you, Antigua. That was so sweet and thoughtful of you. I hope you do find dealing with all the little tiny things that go on between you and your therapist helpful. I never did it with the old therapist because he didn't/wouldn't do it. With the new one, I was gradually taught to do it. Once you realize that you can go over and over things- in a way you would never do outside of therapy- because you're not sure what he/she means, or what you mean, or whether there is any hidden criticism, displeasure, etc. it opens up communication SO much. I'm reluctant to do it too, but am finding it helps a tremendous amount when I do. I hope it helps!
