I've been where you are, DSF. I don't blame you for getting pissy. I've had to get downright MEAN before with some professionals.

The last encounter I had, the T kept saying I was wanting "couple's therapy." No, I didn't!! He kept saying I did and I kept saying NO I didn't until I finally told him he wasn't listening. He was cutting me off before I finished saying what I had to say and I told him so! He finally stopped arguing and listened. Not sure if I got through, though, because I quit going to him. GGGRRRRRRRRR It wasn't ME that was needing help, anyway!

With my long standing T, I got up once and told her that I'd be back when she got over herself and her new-found relationship with another T in her office. I didn't pay for that session, either!

I think they forget about their professional role sometimes... or they take it too seriously. GAWD!!!
