Honestly, I just wanted to get up and walk out. The pain I've cried over so much with her and all of the private emotions I've spoken to her about, all felt invalidated. This isn't the first time, she also speaks about the newborn next door.
I just wonder why she does this (see title) I don't understand why she doesn't put two and two together. I know therapy is supposed to push you but things are very difficult at the moment and T knows I don't have the strength.

Wow,
Your t is incredibily insensitive to what you are going through right now. Has she always been like this?
Where is her empathy. I am not surprised your feelings felt invalidated. I think your are right about the counter transference. There is obviously something going on for her around this issue of children but that doesn't excuse her behaviour. Can you maybe bring this up with her next session or do you even want to work with her anymore?
