T2: It's reasonable to think so. Of course, A isn't the only person on that list.
SAWE: no... 
T2: and B is not the only other person who would be on that list...
SAWE: ulp, no..... thinking to myself about C,D,E, and more etc..........
I felt absolutely like ****, like crawling into a hole.
Today I am depressed and she says, " Coming out of denial is progress. Think about blessings."
I am willing to think about blessings. but why do they do this to us?  |
I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear at that moment, but maybe it'll turn out to have been a helpful response in the long run? It's more than okay to feel upset about it though - I know I've had moments where I've disliked T2's blunt statements!
I like how your T interacts with you!
My (ex) T2 wouldn't respond to questions asking her opinion - she'd just sit in silence and stare uncomfortably long and hard at me.. I never did see what that achieved other than making me really self-conscious and not want to say anything at all.. weird! I still love and miss her though, go figure!
