Hi Leah,

I'm sorry to hear that happedened. Therapists ARE there for You. She made a mistake, a big one at that for what she said, and the after-effects that you have clearly demonstrates it.

I understand therapists are human, and do make mistakes, but they are educated enough to know when to step back and breathe. Words hurt.

I agree that you could sit down with your T and calmly discuss what happened, as to never let this happen again. In the meantime, I know it's easier said than done, but don't dwell on her words, as she probably feels aweful, and will certainly offer a sincere apology and explanation. Good luck, I'm thinking of you. <3
