I don't have a therapist right now, but I have felt this way with therapists in the past. I would say something that I find super traumatizing, and they would just nod and say "okay" or "yeah." It was so annoying and frustrating, but then at the same time, I had to ask myself -- what exactly did I *want* them to do? Freak out and throw things? Exclaim, "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED."?
So yeah, it's a frustrating thing for sure. I think I'm always looking for someone to say or do the right thing that will make it all better, when that response may not even exist.
