Thanks so much. :-) I have a session this week so hopefully I won't be feeling as negative when I see the doctor.

T: You are staring.
M: Well that is obviously part of the problem and why I am here. Thanks for bringing it to my attention I'll now stare at the cat mug on your shelf.

I find it rather amusing that we get it, but poor dear T doesn't!
How nice is that!? I love it.

My therapist often seems bored in our sessions....although I've found a way to get a rise out of him.....I told him about my friend's chickens, and how the neighbour's dog broke into the yard and mangled them, but didn't kill them.
***Graphic Warning***
He was cringing in his chair, until I mentioned the part where my friends didn't know what to do with the rooster with the broken wing and were going to leave him along until he healed......not going to happen, rot will set it.
So I told him I was offering to knock off the rooster for them, as the husband and wife (my friends) were too squeamish to do it.
And he looked at me rather interested, and asked me why I was being a martyr and hero and offering to do it.
That kind of shat me off, so I told him it had nothing to do with that, I just didn't like the idea of the animal suffering until it finally expired.
So he asked how I would knock it off, so I told him I would snap it's neck. He kind of winced, and asked me how I would feel afterwards, and if there wasn't another way.
I mentioned that you could use an axe, but it's kind of messy and they do run around afterwards, you get a little shudder once you feel the bones and neck give under your hand, but you get over it.
He looked positively green by the end of it.
Interestingly enough, we moved onto another topic, and the mongrel went back to chewing his fingernails and checking his watch.
I should just turn around and say to him (after talking about boundaries), "You know, when you keep looking like I'm boring you to the point of self cannibalisation (missing last digit on little finger), it's very hard to figure out when to tell you to f*ck up and act decent, or if I'm really boring you and should take my self pity elsewhere!"

When I have said something deep/painful and we sit there in silence for what feels like forever. I know she's waiting for me to react emotionally in some way...but I simply can't. She finally figured out I wasn't going to volunteer my emotional responses so she asked one day: How are you feeling?
Me: I honestly have no idea.
What I wanted to say: I have no flipping clue! I can't feel anything regarding any of this stuff! No, I'm not going to break down crying, or get angry, or anything. I feel nothing, just numb emptiness.

Yeah like, do you want to talk about it
ME sh*t no, I spent a lifetime pretending these things never happened, rather leave well alone
T its good to open up
ME open up yourself, like go for it
T do you really think its good to have guns in the house
ME yeah like in my state of mind just put me off the only things I still enjoy, been shooting some weapon or other since I was 12, T's probably never even seen a plastic toy thingy
T are you still having bad dreams
ME no, sh*t Sherlock, nah, I just got like a family's worth of luggage under my eyes, never mind bags cos I enjoy reliving everything night after night, ooh cant wait to go to sleep & see what horrors are going to unfold before me, also enjoy not being able to drop off during the day because every bang, siren loud noise etc makes me wanna hide.....wake up T ya cant go to sleep when your busy trying to hide.
T maybe you need to concentrate on one spot a bit more like I suggested
ME yeah right, like 1 spots gonna make everything go away & the worlds gonna be full of bluebirds & butterflies, get em flying round in your head mr therapist if you want to, Im to busy protecting myself & my family, blue birds & butterflies & sweet music'll just annoy me even more
