no
today in therapy we did an interesting little exercise. she sat across from me, leaned toward me, and repeatedly said, ‘yes.’
yes. yes. yes. [sparkle], yes.
and all i had to do was say, ‘no,’ each time she said, ‘yes.’
doesn’t sound all that hard, does it? especially when you know you aren’t actually saying no to anything in particular.
but, i cried. not what i would have expected. i would have expected yelling if anything. but, no.
huh.
who’d a thunk it?

Therapists love to make people cry, don’t they?

Why did you cry?

you know, i’m not 100% sure why i cried. but, she’s the first therapist i’ve had where i felt like crying when she does things like this. i think it’s a sign that we’re on the right track with something. i’m not intellectualizing as much, i’m actually feeling more.

Interesting. If I had to guess, from the little I really know of you, I would have to say that I would assume you would be one to be less emotional and more analytical. So maybe this *is* a good thing.
