One thing I even got up my courage to refer to later, saying that it was awful, and she said only, "that was awful" (yes I know it was, but I was hoping for some other response from her of all people).

Hi
sitting, I think I'm a little confused by this. It sounds like you weren't happy with her reactions there, and that it kept you from feeling comfortable with her? I'm trying to understand because when I read it, I get the sense that she was empathizing with you, feeling it right along with you, and validating your feelings. When my T does those things it makes me feel better (like she's there with me, rather than just observing me), but it sounds like it's not having that effect on you...Maybe I'm missing something...
