Hi Readytostop,

I don't like it when my T divulges things to me, it seems to make me more curious about him.

I can imagine hearing about a break in could be triggering - for me I might worry about the what ifs - ....what if T had been injured etc...I understand the relevance of this as an example for illustrating what he was describing and maybe it was a little raw for him still which is why he used it as an example - however maybe he didn't think through the consequences of sharing this as an example.

It wasn't your place to worry about him, so I would ditch the feeling bad about not asking him whether everyone was OK - these sessions are about you, not him.

I wonder if the annoyance is anything to do with the strength of your feelings that led you to e-mail and the non commital response, of purely an acknowledgement. Like you felt strongly about this and his reponse was just a lame "oh". That would make me annoyed.

Of course this is all good stuff to explore in your next session - there may be a lot of learning here.
