So this one thing I threw in quickly at the end of the session because I felt a need to get it out there - and my therapist took it wrong and acted all weird and rushed me out.
I feel horrible. I sure messed this up and just because of being uncomfortable - I was also very tired too and that didn't help. I feel so embarrassed, I don't know if I can go back or not.
I really felt a need for therapy too and so I feel everything is messed up and I won't get what I need.
Other things are not going well in my life either (a lot of other things) and well - just what I needed. I sure messed it up!
I emailed the therapist to try and apologize/explain - don't know if that will do any good or not - maybe not. I probably just messed up therapy for good.
I just should not do therapy anymore - I am just terrible at it! I never seem to know how to do things right.

If you knew how to do therapy "right" (whatever that means) you might not need it. Be gentle with yourself; misunderstandings are going to happen in therapy, but they can almost always be worked out with a competent therapist.
