I was just wondering why you didn't express your feelings immediately after she asked you if you have physical abuse also? Did you answer and say emotional only and then think about it later? I agree with above posters that she was trying to clarify things--NOT that she was saying one was more severe than the other. As a matter of fact sometimes emotional can be worse than physical. I think she just wanted all the correct details so she can know you better and all your details. You didn't "ruin it," you just thought you knew what she was thinking and we never know what anyone is thinking. Forgive yourself. I'm sure she already knows you well and I'm sure she isn't thinking poorly of you. She probably wants to address it face to face. Therapy is best that way. Just bring this up next time and try to talk about why you reacted so severely, like you were worried she wouldn't take your experiences that seriously--or whatever you truly felt. You will feel better and closuer to her after you do this I suspect.
