a lot of people here seem to be concerned that they are "too much for their T's to handle", which just manifests in more stress and more depression and I just hate to see that.
I am pretty sure of my assumptions listed in the question to Dr. Bob, but thought that maybe a response from him would make some of the other posters feel better about their "responsibilties" towards therapy.
I agree with both of you when you say that treating EVERY relationship with respect is a responsibility of every human being. And at some point in every one on one relationship there is a time when we'll p*ss each other off- we are human, not perfect, and that will happen. And I also agree that T's are better equipped to "help themselves" than most of us when we p*ss them off because maybe we "react" with old patterns instead of "acting with new ones we are trying to learn" while we are hurting.
I'd hazard a guess that they would tell us we don't need therapy if we were always able to act "appropriately" no matter what pain we were feeling....
End result, I asked because I think some posters need to be reassured by a professional... bottom line...
