It's not up to your T to alter her behavior, which is within the range of acceptable behavior, but that you find triggering. Otherwise, patients could have her jumping through hoops and turning somersaults in the air to try to avoid all their triggers. When your T does this, you have the opporunity to observe your reaction with curiosity and learn that her silence does not mean she is angry. You get to redo history and have things turn out differently! It can be healing.
