I just remembered something else that I thought people would appreciate...

We were talking about my issue with me getting mad at him...which I don't but he wants me to. I told him how I choose to be there, he doesn't have to help me..he's doing it because I'm asking him..therefore, I don't think I have a right to get angry at him (a bit messed up, I know). He said that if a friend said something that upset me, why wouldn't I approach them about it or allow myself to get angry.

I told him that our relationship is not a friendship..I said "I'm paying you to care about me, to give a sh** about me, for your insight and feedback"

He said "Let's get this straight...you pay for the time. What I do with that time is up to me and I CHOOSE to give a sh** about you, and feel whatever I feel because I want to".

I think someone (sorry I can't remember who) posted on here a while ago that they said something like that to their T, and their T responded somewhat in the same way. Just wanted to share that, because I think we all need to remember that!
