I've had my 2nd session of therapy after about 17 weeks away, and I feel like I'm a lot more vulnerable and open, which makes it so much harder. but something came up yesterday and I don't know how I should have reacted...when my T expressed something to the effect of "I don't wish I was in your shoes right now" and I had never heard anything like that from a T, or expected that. Maybe it's just my aversion to anyone feeling sorry for me, or downplaying how much things affect me, but I left wishing she hadn't said that. how do y'all feel about your T's expressing sympathy for what you're going through? I also think that maybe what's bothering me is I still want therapy to push me to move past all the trauma, abuse, grief, etc. when instead it's dragging me back into it.
