Alpha dogs... the pack leader, the one in control. I have a habit of trying to control my enviroment around me, so when I hit public it does not always go as I think it should. My shrink is an Alpha type personality, she demands to be in charge. I pay her I demand to be in charge. She has an aggresive type personality as I do. So when we are in a room together it is on so to speak. Where as my therapist I always see has a very laid back attitude and goes out of his way to disarm you emotionally and be submissive while being submissive himself, he is used to dealing with all sorts and some violent people. I am guessing my shrink just does not have the background to get it like he does. He is very talented at getting me to open up, my shrink I just wish I could throw something at. Luckily I don't have to see her often anymore since my other doc has taken more control over my treatment per my request. She throws pills at my problems, he helps me sort through them to heal at some point.
