It doesn't sound like a good session if you left feeling badly and didn't feel like your T understood or helped you. Is she often like this? Just wondering if she was trying some new technique with you, thinking it might work, but obviously it didn't. Her saying that your life isn't horrible just seems really patronizing, too. No one knows what someone's life is like unless they're the one living it.

It's different when she's saying you're a good person--my T has said that to me before when I'm feeling bad about myself. And I sometimes doubt that I'm being a good mom to my 4-year-old, too, so she tries to counter that by saying how much I'm doing for her. But she also listens when I say how upset I am about something, and it doesn't sound like your T was doing that. And if she didn't even notice you were crying...

And the whole thing about not giving your journal back sounds like what a mother would do when their kid is being bad--maybe she's having maternal countertransference or something?

I know it's hard for you to talk to her, but I think you need to express in some way--talking, in writing--for next session how this session made you feel. So maybe she can take a different approach with you that will help.
