Thanks for reading and your heartfelt comment, Kristina!

I know what you’re saying but in all honesty, therapy should be the one place we don’t feel bad for only talking about ourselves. For me it’s sometimes liberating to be able to do that without the burden of shame (“maybe I should stop talking about myself now and take turns"). No, sometimes it’s nice to be all about you and not feel guilty because of it. At the end of the day, it’s a service that we’re paying for.

I might write a piece one day about the find line of losing your therapist because you’re developing your relationship into friendship and she’s losing the objectivity. We need to be careful to sensibility compartmentalize the type of interaction we have. Too little and you’re losing the rapport and too much and you’re losing the critical objectivity needed for therapy to work.

Hugs!
