Like I said in my other thread, I never expected or wanted T to be perfect. I only wanted her to be open to discussing this issue with me. I wanted her to allow the conversation and talk it through with me. I wanted to work with my feelings, rather than have her change the subject. How is that being self-righteous? I didn't accuse her of anything, tell her she did anything wrong, or ask her to do anything different. I only used "I feel" statements and tried to express to her how I was feeling. I said I wanted to talk about this issue, rather than avoid it. I don't see there is anything wrong with my approach?
I also just sent my T an e-mail (my 3rd e-mail ever!) explaining how I felt after our session today, and asking that we talk about it in more detail next week.
