That's a fair idea but I don't know what to say. He was talking about cognitive behavioral therapy at one point. I learned a few breathing techniques to calm outbursts of anxiety, stress and anger. But then I told him they weren't doing anything anymore which is the truth and nothing. No response at all. The session ran out of time and it wasn't mentioned again. I guess he got distracted by something else. Who knows?
What can anyone discuss with a therapist who clearly isn't paying attention? But if I mentioned that to him he would probably just point a finger at my post-traumatic anger. When I think about it that way my mask feels much safer; nod, say yes & repeat.
I hate people. Wow ... That triggered me quick.
