Your misunderstanding about the phone calls sounds just like what happened to me with the emails. She asked me one time, "Why do you send emails? What are you expecting from me?" And then later on she said that I seemed to put 'conditions' on emails.

This is what caused a two month rupture between us. It was heck to get through. Like you and your therapist, according to the therapist it was a misunderstanding and we took it to mean total rejection. Which in turn caused an extreme reaction: "I will NEVER do that again!!"

Thank God we got through that. I hope that you can see that if your therapist says it was a misunderstanding, you have to believe her on that. Many times over emotional people go way out of control when they feel that someone is scolding them, or it feels like they are.

For me, I could not get through life without taking something for anxiety on a daily basis. I cannot imagine how bad I would be if I didn't!
