I've talked about it twice and both times it was because I was triggered by something. The first time, I was late to a session because of a car accident and when I finally got there, I was so panicked that I was shaking and hyperventilating in his office. When he commented that my reaction seemed a bit extreme, I told him that my father really got upset when we were late for something and that being late was not OK. The second time, we were trying to figure out why I have a low grade panic attack every time I go to his office and I told him about the first T my high school forced me to see when they caught me SI-ing in the locker room. She kept digging to get evidence of physical abuse and when I wouldn't give her any, she called my parents into the room and basically told them I was suicidal and it was their fault. As you can imagine, that went over like a lead balloon and I got screamed at on the way to and on the way back from every appointment I had after that. It got so bad that I started getting an upset stomach before every session - which I could then use to have sessions cancelled.

That first T made me hyper-sensitive to bringing up my family in session - I keep thinking that they'll know I'm being disloyal and talking about them somehow.
