My mom always would tell me I was too sensitive whenever she hurt me emotionally. My husband told me I was too sensitive during out argument today. What's up with everyone?? Is T right?? WTH?? I'm so hurt and angry right now (or would the word be SENSITIVE  ).
Perhaps an email to T is in order? I don't want to sit with this for two weeks but at the same time I don't want to piss T off. I feel that as angry and sad as I feel right now she's all I have to help me.  And everyone here on PC of course  . |
if "sensitive" is being used as a pejorative, then i think both your hubby and your therapist are wrong to say that.
obviously, we all have our sensitivities. we all have those areas of insecurity that, when poked, hurt more than other areas. it may be a person's weight, level of education, social status, etc. the list goes on and on and on.....and i think that when people are close to you and learn those sensitive areas and then intentionally poke at them, and turn around and call you sensitive...its abusive.
as for your therapist...if she is trying to get you to examine those areas of sensitivity and understand why they exist, thats one thing. otherwise, it sounds like just piling on and thats only going to lead to you becoming defensive. which i dont think is a helpful way to be in therapy.
