You are a seriously strong and amazing woman. I have been reading your posts and progress since I joined the boards and what you have accomplished is huge. It is inspiring knowing that you have managed to adjust to the multiple roles of your T, take care of your house, your kids, and still somehow manage to work on yourself.

He commented that when the frame wobbles I get confused and pissed off. That statement itself pissed me off. I have tolerated the most wobbly frame in the existence of therapy, what with his triple roles. And I have hardly ever complained or whined, but just trusted him to hold the frame for us (which he has, admirably).
It sounds like T let you down, by wanting to share with a colleague, and also by giving you a clinical explanation for your feelings. Maybe you just wanted him to say he is there 100% for you now? IMHO, that is more than reasonable after all you have put up with, and there is nothing wrong with clarifying that with T.

So, I'm glad you let the sparks fly. I'm glad you were able to make the session all about you. Maybe you had to get mad to re-assert your need for T?

Be kind to yourself, sunny, you deserve it.

Thanks for this!
