I’m sorry, too, your T responded the way she did. I’m sorry that she didn’t address the underlying hurt in your scathing email before she addressed her own anger.
It sounds to me like her comment about your not understanding things from her perspective is projection. Yeah, OK, maybe you didn’t handle the drama so well but whoever told the therapy professionals that they could or should expect appreciation and understanding from their clients? Yes, it is great when the client gets well enough to do that, but to get angry (or even upset and frustrated) that it isn’t first on the client’s agenda?
Sorry, but if she can’t acknowledge and own her part, it sounds to me like you need to find another T. Look for someone who can accept a client who is -- for the present -- self-absorbed and not functioning perfectly. That's why we're in therapy, for heaven's sake!!
