OMG she got pissed at that lol. She raised her voice a tiny bit and said sternly or irritatedly or both... " THAT is NOT true. This is not the kind of job where I can just switch off at the end of the day. I DO care very much and I do think of you a lot outside, is it really so hard for you to believe you're in my heart and mind?"

Or something like that. I felt like I was getting into trouble a little bit. I finally riled her!
Tonight was a very tough session....
Does your sense of self worth diminish for seeing your T's frustration level rise? I am looking at the phrase of feeling a little bit 'in trouble' with your T. At the same time, is it truly being in trouble? Could a display of irritation come from another's feeling of having a career in helping others minimized by stating how 'seemingly' easy it is for her to turn off her feelings at the end of the day?
