She brought it it every session. We had the exact same discussion so many times that I can't even count them. I feel like she wanted me to have an issue w/ this. It was very frustrating.<br /><br />BTW, I agree that Sunil is very creepy. If they were real, I might be a little worried for his daughter-in-law's safety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-52028324857601634772010-11-17T08:48:20.669-05:002010-11-17T08:48:20.669-05:00Dinah - I agree.

He seems borderline stalker in his behavior towards his daughter-in-law.<br /><br />They never offered an explanation to the girl's suicide. Do you think she may have been pregnant? It isn't clear if she commited suicide before knowing of Sunil's arranged marriage.<br /><br />Is it just me, or is Sunil very difficult to understand? He mumbles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-12644532693603279832010-11-16T21:52:11.031-05:002010-11-16T21:52:11.031-05:00Sounds like an interesting episode! And yes, that...Sounds like an interesting episode! And yes, that'd be insulting to have the therapist continue to press the theory if I was insisting I wasn't feeling that.<br /><br />Only once has mine had a theory about something that I've felt I'm not sure about, and I decided that after the session in which he said, here's what I think, and I was like, whoa, that's way different than how I've thought of things for along time, that's going to take some wrapping my brain around . . . I went home and thought about it, and a couple sessions later I had an example of the behavior that I thought showed why I thought my explanation for how I was acting (yeah I know I"m not a shrink lol) was more fitting than what he'd said. He accepted what I said and listened with interest and empathy, as usual, although it seemed to me that he found it a bit . . interesting that I'd decided to not seriously consider what he'd said (not out of ego, but out of considering possible avenues of insight into my behavior).<br /><br />Anyway, he didn't push it. He floated his theory at the time it seemed appropriate, and when I came back with my disagreement, he was fine. It WOULD be insulting to be told you felt a way that you don't feel, and regardless of the intellectual side of what we'd been saying, it was more the way I FELT about the issue, and he completely respected that, and ME, by not continuing to advance his theory when I came back with my disagreement.<br /><br />Um, long-winded way, there, of saying I agree with you, heh.
