I kinda agree with sawe. I pretty much yelled at my current T for the first 2 or 3 years and thought he was an idiot. Except he was my 5th T, and I was behaving with him the same way I had with previous Ts. So by then, I had to admit, it wasn't them, it was me. Only I wasn't ready to admit THAT!! So I blamed the process, and tried to learn as much about it as I could. I've been thinking lately of all the stuff I felt I couldn't tell my T, because then what would they think of me?? I wish I had said it all much sooner. Maybe that's not your problem, but whatever it is, if you solve it, and then she still feels like she's walking on eggshells, yeah find someone more assertive. Whew!! Sorry it took so long to find my way to being supportive..

For me, I said No Everytime my T said anything, but it was automatic and I didn't realize it. Finally we worked out a thing where he stopped and got my attention and got my sympathy ahead of time so I wouldn't disagree with him. But otherwise - I was just acting like my mother, being disagreeable. And he was walking on eggshells I suppose. But it took him stopping and saying "now this is just off the top of my head but..." And it fools me every time!!
