I'm so sorry to hear that, but glad you posted about it. I appreciate knowing I'm not the only one who has these experiences. I thought my T yelled loudly enough for half the street to hear. He did me a demo of his actual idea of a raised voice - it was really gentle and just ever-so-slightly louder than usual. Not shouting, not remotely.

Did you know you might have these experiences when you started? I didn't. I read somewhere that clients go to therapy with a willingness to re-experience the past but I had no clue, I just knew I needed help.
