Oh, that must have sounded very harsh to you. Maybe she didn't mean it that way (can't tell as I wasn't there and don't know how she sounded, whereas you were obviously there) but I imagine it must have sounded very insensitive. The thing is, even if you tell "the truth" in therapy, your truth may change. Things I thought were the truth two months ago don't feel like the truth now.
I would suggest you talk to this T and tell her you felt criticised or attacked or however it is you felt, and explain it has made you worry about talking to her. If she's worth sticking with, she'll understand and talk to you about it.
I found a way to tell my T that there is something I can't tell him. I wrote a story about a rabbit being chased by foxes. Rabbits always represent childhood when I write stuff to bring to T, so I think he'll get it. I'm nervous about giving it to him but I need to get this out my head and bringing things to T can help in that respect.
