The therapist I saw for only a couple of months sat in silence while I shook. I tried to explain I did not know what was supposed to happen but she just sat there - after two times of sitting in silence and shaking, I told her I was not coming back.

With this one I see now, I don't really want her talking much because I decided she was most useful not doing so - although she can ask a question here and there. sometimes it is hard to get this one to keep her thoughts to herself. I use her to say things I don't tell other people. I could not have done it with the earlier woman.

Granite - I do think it sounds like this therapist is trying to get you to see you jump to conclusions about what people are thinking or doing at you without checking to see if that is what the person is really doing. So this therapist was trying to show you that your first response to her (therapist) is not really what she is doing or feeling and perhaps that happens with other people too (thinking they hate you when your facts don't really add up to that if you step back and look at them) - just an idea.
