someone else posted about how the T would trigger them a bit, and then ask them questions. To hold on tight enough to be able to answer is such HARD going, and it really rang a bell with me.

somewhere 2-3 months into working with this new T she told me how she saw me - a very high opinion - and I burst into tears and shouted that she had no idea who she was talking to.

maybe not the response she had anticipated, but informative, no doubt.

yesterday she started telling me something that I would consider a huge compliment. Tears came and I growled, "don't start with me."

Now there's a useful comment to hand your therapist. It's practically like, don't work with me. How can she get anything done in the face of an attitude like that?
