Gosh I'm sorry Owl, that sounds incredibly frustrating and invalidating. I can completely understand how painful that must have felt. I would have felt like walking out.

I do have to wonder why a T would not "allow you" to talk about whatever you choose is important for you. Mine encourages me to all the time, and now checks in with me if he ever feels HE is going off on a tangent that may not be in the directionI want to go.

I have found it useful to email my anger to my T if we have gone thorugh a difficult session like that, so that we can definitely discuss it at the next session. Is this something you might be able to do?

Kind hugs to you.
