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 Rainbow, You sound like you understand and I appreciate it

She is usually very blunt and this is why I sometimes don't feel safe telling her things because she has such stron opinions and reactions.
I hated when she asked why did I come in today because she said it angrily and it made me close up. She also asked me what advice I would give myself if I was the t, I hate these kind of things. Also about an hour after seeing me she put something on facebook that was nothing to do with me but on her page she puts up articles, it was nothing to do with my situation but it annoys me when she has a suic client and posts things on facebook after not taking them seriously during a session.

I think when I am seeing my therapist to whole purpose if for her to show me honesty, which is more that I can get from anyone else. And I hope she does it gently but sometimes she has to be tough because on my own I tend to screw up my life. Maybe you didn't like what she said but maybe you can benefit at a later point. Good luck to you and I hope you next appointment goes better for you.

Thank you

I value ts honesty, in fact it is one of the things I love about her but I believe today was not the place for it.I know there is some truth in what she said but it was the way she said it and when she said it.
