WalkFree, welcome to PsychCentral.

I think you and your T have had a misunderstanding and are not too far off track. I think you need some open communication to set things straight. I understand how it can be upsetting to see your T hug another client. I think you should share your upset with your T so you can work through it together.

I am very impressed she called you twice to check on you. I think many T's would not do this, even though we might wish they did. I think she is concerned about you, doesn't know what is going on, and is trying to help and understand. I think the "it's my job" comment may not have been so sinister, perhaps just a way to make light of a compliment from you. I think you should also share with her how you reacted to that phrase.

I think you are not too far off with your T--I hope you can share with her and renew the relationship. It will help with trust.

Take care,
sunny
