How we FEEL isnt how things always come across. Unless we are the greatest of orators. Even then, we are in therapy, and t isnt simply an audience. When he asks, what are you upset about, it's not because he doesnt remember; it's because you didnt state it. I think it is our responsibility, when we interrupt another person's space with our concerns, to let them know what we want to talk about. It's presumptuous to assume what someone else is thinking - "oh, you're over that already? - or - gee, you're not over that yet?" It can go wrong so many ways. And maybe it's not what you want to talk about. Sounds like mind reading is the problem, and I think that points to anger and responsibility, idk.
