"I killed the president of Paraguay... with a fork... how have YOU been?" I just think it would be depressing... shouldn't you be taking notes?"
"I'm not taking notes Martin because I'm not your doctor."
"OK don't start with that stuff again..."
"Martin, I'm emotionally involved with you."
"How are you emotionally involved with me?"
"Because I'm afraid of you."
"You're afraid of me."
"And that constitutes an emotional involvement, and it would be unethical for me to work with you under the circumstances."
"Don't you think that maybe you're upset because I told you what I do for a living, and you got upset about it and let it interfere with our dynamic?"
"Whoa... Martin, you didn't tell me what you did for a living -"
"Yes I did!"
"You didn't tell me what you did for a living for four sessions, and THEN you told me, and I said I don't wanna work with you. And yet you come back every week at the same time. That's a difficulty for me. On top of that, if you've committed a crime, or are even thinking of committing a crime, I have to tell the authorities!"
"I know the law, OK? But I dont' want to be withholding, I'm very serious about this process. ... And I know where you live."
"Ohhh now you see? That wasn't a nice thing to say. That wasn't designed to make me feel good!"
