Thanks. I just don't understand how she could have gotten irritated. It makes no sense to me. It's not like I did anything outrageous.

Aren't T's supposed to meet us where we are and work with us there? And if they are trying to get us to open up to them and allow ourselves to become very vulnerable, why in the heck would they get annoyed when we finally make that leap?

It is probably going to be the main thing we discuss Wednesday. It's funny how the relationship with T keeps 'bumping' discussion of other issues. But, I also understand that my issues come out in therapy with my T and so it's a chance to address them in a safer place than RL.

In RL I would probably never initiate a discussion with someone who hurt me that way. I would just retreat and keep my distance emotionally. But since I promised T that I will now try to be as honest as possible with her, no matter how scary, I am compelled to bring it up.
