this is totally me too; in shock when t reacts like that. t wants me to say what i need to say in the moment - but when it feels like a direct attack, my mind goes numb and i just sit there. i also do better at writing - i am glad you were able to articulate clearly what you needed to and to send it. hopefully this will get resolved well.

I guess I'm just disappointed that when T came on so harshly on Saturday, that I didn't stop him and tell him what I needed from him. I was too shocked at what I was hearing
and I am sure many, many clients aren't able to express themselves so openly and honestly...or even recognize what it is that they want/need/feel....
and for me, to be able to work harder at recognizing my feelings and building up the courage to express them face to face. So hard tho.
Weighing it all out, I think I done good....
