But, being an "I", don't expect me to participate that much in the meeting!

I actually feel fortunate that my T doesn't respond to me telling her about something, "That must have felt terrible," because I would have the "No s**t, Sherlock" reaction. More often she will react to how I describe the way I feel; i.e. "That made me angry," with a "You should be angry; I'd sure be angry." It's a less condescending way to empathize IMO.
