I'm sorry you had such a disappointing session. It does seem like your T "missed the boat" with you. I don't think repeatedly asking a client "why did you come today"? is productive, because when we are in therapy it's obvious that we go to be helped with our issues. I think she could have been kinder to you. Is she usually blunt like that, telling you what to do, in regards to your GF?

I've had sessions like that where my T has told me I have choices, and I didn't want to hear it. Or, she's rubbed me the wrong way and I've wanted to throw things at her, too. Sometimes Ts just don't "get it", or know the right way to help us. They're human.
Thanks for this!
