Has your T made any mistakes? How do you know if they have? I'm not sure if my T should have treated me the way she did or not so maybe they weren't mistakes. Maybe it's a case of being effective or less effective, productive or not productive. Is a T allowed to make mistakes?
I don't know if she has made any therapeutic mistakes, but she has trouble with dates and has double booked me twice. I actually treasure this kind of mistake, as it makes her more human and approachable. Take that, T! I'm better at maths than you!

It's all too easy to see T as infallable. Dangerous. That would mean every misunderstanding was my fault.
