Not at all offensive! Rather comforting really.
My therapist isn't analytically trained and I think is more comfortable with the more directive CBT type work. He has always told me that we need to work on this long term therapy together, because he doesn't have a roadmap.
I'm glad we are on better terms, because something very upsetting at work came up today, and I was able to get his advice on what to do. I took notes. Which is a bit more directive than he generally is, but he asked my permission first and I told him that's why I was asking him.
I suppose as Daisy said a while back, when things are going ok I'm able to use my internal therapist, but when something bad happens I still want to turn to him.
