So yes ppl can and do hurt you (and you sometimes hurt them) but if you're strong enough you can overcome it.
Ideally I think clients are not supposed to be able to hurt their T- but it does happen and depends on the T how he/she handles it.
Frankly, I don't see how saying this could be beneficial for you- cause you obviously got hurt and this might be implying that you let it happen (i.e. let ppl hurt you).

I think maybe that's what she was implying because she had asked before why I let people hurt me and I hadn't realised I was doing it!
