Thank you all.
Yes, that was how it was for me also:
"During my most awful moments with my T, what I noticed was that my T would reflect back to me, THE MOST NEGATIVE ASPECTS of what I said about my life. None of the growth, the triumphs, the stretching that I did, just the negative. "

She told me (like ever other or 3rd session) that I was "still living a marginalized life" and how that was problematic and not where she wanted me to be. Yet I just GOT to this point! I've only been away from my abuser 2 years, even if I am still living in state housing. I was with my abuser for 10 years. This is still a milestone for me! No, it's not perfect, no I don't want to be here forever, but still let's look at my accomplishments! Nope; just "you're not progressing, you're still in state housing, you're still mentally ill (a phrase I've never heard her say except to me (she speaks a lot and always uses "mental health"). No one believed me when I told them that - the staff have never heard her say that either. She's said it three times to me. "NO no," they say, "You must have mis-heard her."

Anywho - I ended up going to the ER yesterday instead of my apnt because I was a wreck and in crisis. So, now, I am in partial hospitalization for at least 10-12 days. Thanks T. Glad I could count on session being helpful.
Glad that is over.
Glad I am getting treatment daily, 6 days a week.
