I think there is more value in looking at why you feel dismissed. Not that your t is there to purposely aggravate you, but it is likely that you would feel this way in the future. The point of therapy is not to win these battles with your t, but to find out why you feel the need to fight them? I used to get mad at a coworker inviting me for a break walk to the cafeteria to get a drink. That was totally nuts of me. I felt dismissed every time she asked me after I said no the first time. It's like, why did she keep trying to force her will over mine? That's mother transference. I think she was just trying to get me to act like a human being in the office. But I saw it the wrong way, totally. Maybe she had her wrong side too. But with your t, you get to figure out your wrong side in this dispute without it affecting your career, as my dispute affected mine.
