I see my function as a teacher to give my students nothing to push off against except themselves.

Yeah, in this context I was reflecting on how students will often go through a rebellious phase, where they begin to lose trust in what I have to say, as they transition to trusting themselves more (which is nearly 100% of what I’ve been suggesting all along).

This phase is weird, probably something akin to raising a teenager, because they want to trust their sense of things more, but aren’t fully there, so will often try and set me up to be the bad guy, or to take power from them, as if to prove to themselves that I’m the problem.

If I don’t react the way they expect, for instance by kindly encouraging them to go explore elsewhere, it seems to take some of the ground out from under their rebellion, and they have nothing left to push against, except their own inner conflict.

I guess it has something to do with psychological projection/transference and learning how to turn that around in ways that push the burden back onto them to figure shit out.
