So if she feels annoyed she needs to notice that and file it away for her own therapy or supervision.
But i see what you're saying, that this is more about how you felt rather than anything she did?

Definitely more about how I felt. There was something about the whole interaction that just felt wrong and unsafe and uncomfortable, which is completely different than how I've been feeling with her for the past few weeks...I can't pinpoint exactly which specific things made me feel that way, but I felt myself getting more and more upset as the session progressed even though there was no real trigger for that. Maybe I was just tired or feeling vulnerable and thus oversensitive...something to bring up with her tomorrow when I see her again...
