i'm so angry that she said that. she told me to think over the weekend how proportionate i was being and we'd talk about it monday.

That sounds very invalidating to me on her part. when I was still in treatment, I had to deal with many men who triggered my ptsd almost constantly.

One time I left therapy because I thought a man kept following me all over the unit.

I told the head counselor, "I am not coming back until he leaves!"
