It's hard to open up and talk about things, isn't it? I don't know what it is that he did - if he did something he shouldn't have or if it just happened to be something that was a trigger for you??? But don't worry about making therapists feel bad about something they did. (1)They do need to know so that they can not do it again, and because they can help you better if they know what triggers you, and (2) they can deal with it - you will really be surprised sometimes what they can handle. Worrying about making your T (or your kid's T) feel bad shows that you are a sensitive, caring person, and you are to be commended for that. I understand that, as I've also had experience with not wanting to make my T feel bad. I don't get to see him anymore and all I have is that I can e-mail him. He, unfortunately, just isn't any good at e-mail. I wrote him a message explaining what was lacking in his responses and what I needed from him, and then said that I hoped I didn't sound like I was being critical of him. He said not to worry about being critical of him because he didn't mind. Yes, they are human, but it's still not easy to shock them or make them feel bad. They tend to have heard it all before.
