No, the blank slate that I felt was in response to me pouring out my flashbacks and him just taking it in and just reflecting back this huge nothingness. Didn't say anything at all about what I'd told him. As if he almost wasn't even there, and he wasn't going to interpet anything, at least at this point, but allow me to interpet it myself without any input. (He did ask one stupid question, which made me feel like he hadn't been paying attention.)
It just felt invalidating and hurtful if I'm honest. He's not usually like this, but he does seem to do this when I'm recounting something.
BTW, I never ask anything of a personal nature. I don't want to know anything about him at all. If anything, he is the one who has brought up something about his family, but that has only been once or twice. I like hearing about his work, though--not his patients (LOL), but his research.
I know I'm hiding from actually accepting that he's a real person, but, really, I'm scared to death to know anythng about him because I'm afraid he will hurt me.
the only question he has refused to answer is when I asked him once why he asked me a specific question about something that had happened during our therapy. I had gotten quite angry over the question and wanted to know why he asked, but he wouldn't say.
