My ex T, during our final session, got angry with me because I jokingly let her know that I thought she didn't like me. She never did deny it, but she was mad that I thought it. She became very defensive; I guess I pushed a button, since she said something about it being brought up in her supervision, but that wasn't my intention. Just like when I'd asked her weeks before why I annoy her so often, I really wanted a denial, not an explanation.

Exactly what I got early on from my mother - here are the reasons I can't stand you and wish you were out of my life, when all I wanted was "I don't hate you. I'm glad you're in my life."

Thankfully, though, this weekend marks the first time since session #1 that I have a healthy lack of feeling for her. No "loving feelings" or hate or anything. It's GREAT.
