Had a very frustrating session with T- we went round and round the same issue as before. And she put out there "I'm trying to balance getting you to talk about it, but I don't want to push you too much, have you get angry and leave. And I said pretty pointedly- well, I can assure you I won't just leave, but I can't promise about the angry part.. and was able to laugh a bit. She did point out that we have been here before, and made it through. We never did figure it out in today's session. Felt like spinning wheels, unproductive work

But then I found this research article on processing the therapeutic relationship that helped a bit:

Just thought others here might relate...
