I'm going through this situation where I know one of T's other patients, and I just sort of hate her a lot.

Unfortunately I have to see her in a class once a week, and she's not easy to ignore because she's very into sharing her entire life misery with the rest of the class.

I brought up the fact that I think I know one of T's other patients in session last week. T was of course blank and wouldn't give any indication, but I'm still sure she is. Mostly T was interested in me knowing that he was not bothered or upset that I brought this issue to him. He said it's normal for me to feel jealousy, due to my past history. He said usually his patients want to know if he likes them more or less than another patient.

I told him I was sure he liked me more, and I still am.

BUT, this girl seriously turned me into an angry, angry person last class when I saw her again. I have a difficult time keeping myself from expressing anger outright at her. She is not even aware I exist. She sits in front of class, I sit in back.

I want to talk to T about this girl more and explain how irritated she makes me. My concern is that it will be awkward for T to listen to me explain to him all the reasons why this girl frustrates and annoys me. He may have to work to keep blank with me and not indicate if he recognizes any of the things I repeat to him about her. I mean she just vents her whole life in class. I know a lot.
