I sort of did that and my therapist "snapped" at me but I took it as caring? You know how a good parent will make sure you keep out of danger by yelling at you to "warn" you? Well, it sounds to me (from my experience) that the therapist didn't want you opening that door! Going away/inside/"next" door can be very dangerous psychologically, especially if you get in the habit of doing it? In my situation where I got snapped at, I sort of knew what I was doing and suddenly saw my therapist in "front" of me on my wrong path with "knives" out (so I use to watch a lot of Xena, Warrior Princess, so sue me :-) to bar my way down that "bad" path. I don't even remember her exact words, just that I was awestruck she "found"/saw me and knew what I was doing when I only half knew myself?
