((goldshift)) a good question for your T would be why she had nothing to say when you spoke of your experiences?
Perhaps T wasn't sure what to say so T said nothing?????
My T1 would tell me that what they did was wrong, it wasn't my fault and I felt validated. I felt empathy. She would also try and have me see why they behaved the way they did (there background etc..) to help me not take it so 'internal' and as it being 'my fault'.
Perhaps your T is just 'sitting with it' to prepare discussing it next session?
Either way I would address this at your next appointment.
I'm in the middle of discussing things with my T2 and it ain't pretty!
