My first T (Former T) and I had an intense session once. ( Well, more than once but this one was the most memorable)

I was on a summer break from T, when a friend of mine learned I had been seeing him and shared some personal information about him. I mentioned it to him, upon my return, and he wanted to know what information she shared. I didn't want to disclose it to him. I told him I paid to come to therapy to talk about me, not talk about him. He became very defensive and angry and kept pushing. pushing. pushing me to tell him. I kept repeating the comment above. We finally did discuss it before I left but only because I felt hostage to the situation. He was always very prompt about ending sessions on time, this one ran 20 minutes over and was very intense. It was, without a doubt, a very messy therapy day! ugh.

With current T, last fall he was "irritated" with me for something. Turns out, his irritation wasn't at me, it was at himself and projected. It "felt" like he was angry with me, I just didn't understand why. I left therapy and returned a month later to discuss with him.
