Cats t is inconsistent. One day, she is nice and supportive. The next day, she acts irritated and says, "OK, what do you want now?!" Cats never knows what to expect from her t. T also seems not to have good control of her own emotions.

I would be very hurt by several of the things her t says. I would not be able to work with a t who talked to me like that. However, Cats has been with this t for a long time, so i understand why quitting therapy with her would be a very hard decision to make. Cats, does therapy with your t feel rewarding most of the time, or does it feel painful most of the time?"

It sounds like t cares about you, Cats, and wants to help you. But maybe she gives to you emotionally when she doesn't really feel able to give to you. Then afterward, she feels angry or resentful. ??? It's not your fault. It's t's fault for setting up the dynamic in the first place. It doesn't sound like t knows how to maintain boundaries.

I'm so sorry things have gotten to this point. I know how extremely hard it can be when you've become really dependent on t's care and then the rules change.
Thanks for this!
