Thank you, googley. I often think how in your responses to others that you sound so very professional, yet caring, and that you would make a good T some day! Yes, definitely my T was receptive. I was just telling him how I felt in response to things he had said. He is always curious to learn more about what I feel as it helps him to help me better. I don't expect my T to not say things in therapy that will trigger me (if he knows what those things are). It is only through experiencing that triggered feeling that I (and he) can understand where I need to heal.
