Or because I emailed a list of what I know about her that she told me? I don't think I should have thrown it back at her but she annoyed me when she said I know she has a H, her kids, and her pets. Like doesn't she know that she told me a lot more? That bothered me. |
i dont know you or your therapist, but just from this post i get the impression that when she talks about her buttons, she means those moments when you dont get all the information that you want and then "accuse" her of rejecting or abandoning you.
i would think that this is a button for any therapist really. speaking for myself, it would be really hurtful to me to be trying my best to help a client and have them get angry and tell me i dont care about them.
ps. yes. the only way to know for sure is to ask. especially if its something you arent aware of or doing on purpose. i think it would be good information for you to have about your relationship with her.
