[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 707913, member: 18958"] My gosh. He sounds like a fabulous doctor with a great deal of wisdom. And you too, to have the tolerance to hear him, which is itself a gift.I believe this is so wise and I think it bears listening to in all relationships. I believed I was a non-judgmental and soft person and I am realizing at a quite late age that I am very hard. Hard-heated and I expect way too much from other people, especially those I love. Sometimes people just have to be heard. It can be all covered up in rage and other trappings that are very hard to bear. I am dealing with this in a close relationship now. He gets extremely mad at me, and is blaming. And I will do almost anything to escape these feelings. Get defensive. Withdraw. Etc. When what it took was listening, without judgment and without fighting back in any way. Had somebody told me this years ago I would have been spared a great deal of heartache and loneliness. I would literally go anywhere to find a therapist like this. Honestly. I would. I have worked around so many professional people and have lost rather than gained trust and confidence. But the thing is: you are bringing a lot to the table, too. I give you a lot of credit and I believe the doctor must, too. [/QUOTE]
