Believe me, she is very deliberate with her words. That helped a lot. Frenemy and I are very different so, honestly, I think I'm a lot more fun. Frenemy is very serious and always wants to come across knowing everything. T. and I joke around and tease each other. So, I really think it's two different relationships. T. has made me realize frenemy is very insecure, etc.
It was a HORRIBLE melt down when I saw her car there. She is my frenemey because she dropped me after a 2 year good friendship. She tends to do that to others has has dropped another friend after me moving on to more popular people. I now see that we are so different.
And, I have to believe my T. When I unloaded on her, she paused and said "I'm not going to abandon you. Nothing is going to change our relationship. I'm not going to let you push me away and I won't push you away". That helped a lot. I even told her I didn't want to share her with anyone and was mad this person had entered my sacred space (a term from someone on PC). At the end she smiled and said it was a good thing I ran into this person - I said a lot more in that session. I glared back at her. LOL

You really are brave! That sounds like a good session. I'm not that open. I will thank my T for helping me, but I don't tell her that I particularly value our time together. I'm sure she knows.
Wow, I love what your T said about pushing away - that's awesome.
My T says to me, each session, "I'm happy to see you," and at the end, "It was great seeing you again."
To which I respond, "Well that's better than the opposite, I suppose."
