I agree - I always ignored the personal stuff the therapists interjected. Not my problem or of any interest to me at all really.

I don't feel like saying something to acknowledge that he's going through a difficult time is necessarily taking care of him. It feels more like a human compulsion to say "hey, I see you and I'm sorry you're having a rough time". But then I'm torn because am I overstepping boundaries by acknowledging this? I feel like kind of an asshole for not recognizing that he's also a human being and telling him that I feel compassion about his situation, because that is how I actually feel.

Conversations like in 1930s screwball comedy?

And, no, Poppycock and Balderdash are the guys Hamlet kills. You know, “Poppycock and Balderdash are dead”?

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.

yes but everyone is not you. I have difficult conversations all the time:
"yes you still get an F"
"We lost the appeal and they are going to execute you"
"No intubation for my ward and I will have to talk to the family and tell them X is going on hospice" and so on
I did not need to pay to practice having them with a therapist.

But that wasn’t an Ack. It was its ex-Ack opposite. Kind of.

There should be a sd/una agree square for difficulty.

I think you're allowed to say whatever you feel.

Wow, Cake. I've had Premium Bonds for seven years, and not won anything in that time.

Signed up for a short developmental psych course on a whim (it’s free for me since I’m doing the psychoanalytic fellowship) and the first lecture last night was fascinating—watching videos of parents and children interacting and interpreting their speech and behaviour. Super interesting!

I think it does also depend on how much you've invested too. I have nowhere near the max limit but less than 6.2k. Though I've got a lower amount than one my sisters' by £400- she hasn't won yet. We all started at the same time two months ago and I try to buy at least £25 every month. Wish I started earlier as the draws only happen once a month.

I'm dreaming of one of the bigger prizes. I've looked at the previous winners and someone won one of the million pound prizes with only £17 invested and another won with £5900. Someone on another forum I know won £1000 last month. I've also heard of someone else winning £10,000 with £100 bought as a gift from their parent.

I like the fact that every pound is 100% safe and you can withdraw it at anytime ( might have to wait up to a week) and it offers the same thrill of playing the lottery without the risk of losing your money.

Glad you enjoyed it. The other thread inspired me to look up psychoanalytic training in the UK. Will you also be required to see an analyst which I'm guessing
your current T isn't?

Communicating over email is hard. I've had a rough few days since my most recent session, and just sent R an email. Saying that my feelings make me want to run away is not the same as saying I want to leave therapy, right?

As usual, I agree with Lemon. I say whatever I want to say to my T and let her figure out what to do with it. Usually if I were expressing concern about something about her, she would thank me for caring and it would be a nice little moment and then we'd move on to something else.

I’d have to see an analyst if I went further along in training but I’m still not sure if I’m going to do that.
