I'm glad it's not just me. I googled it after my therapist refused to give me examples of the sort of thing I'm supposed to put in the egg, and I see all these glowing reports of the exercise. It makes me feel foolish for finding it so objectionable.
But I do.
I tried to explain to him that I would find it shameful to myself and disrespectful and belittling to my experiences. Like taking my most private moments and turning them into a party game. He said he just couldn't understand why I could feel that way. I said I couldn't understand why he didn't understand. He said he guessed we just weren't able to understand each other on this topic.
I hate it when he does that.
He's not going to let it drop either. He'll insist I don't have to do it, and it's my choice, but he'll bring it up now and again forever, and argue that I would find it a useful thing to do.
