Chopin I’m relatively new here as a poster but have been reading for a very long time and have followed your therapy sessions with great interest. Haven’t read all of them but enough to know that you’re having a far from smooth time of it in your therapy .

Would like to say first thank you so much for posting your sessions in such detail, it’s REALLY useful and helpful (and just plain interesting too) to hear about what goes on in other people’s therapy. I learn a lot from reading about the details and the actual conversations that people have in therapy.

I am so sorry you had such an awful session. I’m not sure how you feel about it after the event – I get the impression that this kind of blindsiding and confusion is not unusual and so you might be more inured to it than I’d assume?

I have to admire you for sticking with this T, if it were me I’d have headed for the hills a very long time ago. But you strike me as having much more internal strength and self confidence than me so maybe what you are getting out of this therapy is actually helpful to you, where it wouldn’t be for me (not resilient enough to take the kinds of criticisms and boundary changes your T keeps making.)

I hope you can resolve some of the more negative exchanges that happened this session and can get back on track. And that you’re not feeling too blown away by what transpired
