Part of my therapy is a "mirroring process" (therapy speak) of my emotional state (this helps "contain" me so I don't unload my life story to strangers in a coffee shop...at least not everyday). I would say my therapist hits the mark of accuracy about 80% of the time. However, there are times when she'll say something that will make me wonder if, perhaps, she is indeed out of her tree and just a really good actress (there's no way to know unless I hire a detective who gets actual photos of her smoking out with transvestites who she pays for ritual abuse...can you imagine? It might be worth it just for the material...).
The other day we were discussing dating (have I mentioned that I think it's stupid?) and she imparted her belief that I'm searching for "emotional intimacy." Hmmm.... From dating? Isn't that a little heavy handed? Emotional intimacy during the early dating phase seems more like a giant red flag. One fun date. That's all I'm asking for (and, apparently, it's too much...).
She "got" me once I explained myself in detail, but still...what if she is whacked?
Just for today, I can question my therapist's sanity.
