Peaches, I could have never been able to handle such a response from my T. I don't think you're overreacting at all. I think I would quit if my T was so cold. My T knows me enough that when she sees that I've exposed myself emotionally, she is extra gentle and extra kind. AND, when I've attempted to 'back off' because of my fear or shame, she will gently encourage me to return. Even when I've canceled appointments, she'll say, "I don't think that's a good idea so I'll save your slot in case you change your mind." And so I can never resist her 'invitation'. I feel well-cared for. I am so sorry your T responded so coldly.
