> I think my pdoc stays distant when things are going badly with me. He keeps his voice low and quiet. He gets warmer and more friendly when we are really able to talk -- when I'm not in a bad way. Another thing I have noticed is that he has been reacting with more emotion when things happen to me or when people do rotten things, and even voices opinions about whatever it is -- usually sarcastic toward the other party. I am always kind of surprised. He also tends to explain more of where he is going in a conversation when I start questioning his questions instead of just asking me to bear with the line of questioning.
My current therapist nods his head a lot. And he goes "Ahmm", "Ahmm", like so. A lot. He lets me talk...he is really quiet at those moments.
I think he frowns when I talk about pouring candle wax on my hand (in the past). Thank goodness I do not do that any longer. Although I am finding myself burning some candles again. There is still that urge to dip my finger into the hot wax. The pain is kind of satisifying momentarily. But I know from past experience that it is not good to my mental state in the long run.
He kind lets me talk, when I do talk. I always wonder what goes on in his head during those moments. I really like him. He is funny. He's gentle and have a good sense of humor. He's good at dramatizing things, acting things out. He makes me laugh. I love it. Great chemistry between us.
