I hadn't planned to use music today, but when I got there I told her I thought I needed to. That is when she made the comment. It felt like she was saying, "Okay, you can spend 10 minutes listening to music, but that is going to cut into our talking time."

This embarrassed me to no end! I wanted to throw the CD player out the window! I know that I am the only client she has who does the music thing. She keeps telling me that she is fine with that, and reminds me the sessions are about ME and what I need. She tells me to stop telling myself that I am weird, odd, different, or whatever because I don't exactly follow what most of the other clients do.

I can still see the look on her face when I told her that her comment upset me. She was like, "What?" She was baffled that I took that SO personal. On the other hand, she knows me well by now. She knows I do that, but she never knows which comment she makes will send me over the edge!
