with all his carefulness that way, when he wrote a referral letter to austin-t he asked mentioned the whole *******ed saga in the letter. and got his receptionst to type it up!! i was in shock. i couldn't believe he actually did that. absolutely boggled the mind.
but i did say i wanted it taken out. i didnt go into the whys etc, just said "i don't want that in there". and so he took it out (or got his secretary to  ).
sometimes our Ts just miss the mark completely. sounds like your T did this time. i tell myself it's because they don't sit with this anxiety, this fear, so they don't understand how important promises are sometimes. not that they don't understand, but because they're more relaxed sometimes they just don't see the gravity of it all.

Wow, you've got the assertiveness down! One thing I hoped to get out of therapy was being more assertive -- but therapy just demanded that skill even more than in ordinary life. So often my t's have missed the mark completely in so many ways.
