WHOA~ take a deep breath! You have plenty of responses already, and will get more... it's a holiday here in the USA remember??? Plus it has only been a few hours... patience m' lady.

Now, let me see if I'm on the right page with you.

You gave T information in writing that you felt was in an angry spirit. T agreed.
T shared that he was thinking along a different line than anger. You're upset that T didn't know you're angry? But are you also upset that you are angry?
You're concerned that because you found another therapy issue that you will work on, T will quit you?

You think that your crisis was nothing but facade?

(((hugs)))

Breathe.

You have more than one issue to work on with T. T knows this. T won't leave because you came to him for help, which is what he does.

Crisis situations are number one priority, on the phone especially. Telephone calls from T in a crisis are not for therapy work. Therapy work is done in session, not on the telephone (unless it's a planned phone session.) This is standard and good therapist's actions.

T understands the process of therapy and all that it elucidates from a patient. Don't fear but follow the T, sharing what you can about what you think and how you feel when things get out of control and you feel overwhelmed like you do today.

If you read about the 10 Cognitive Distortions that are most common, you might find how you have a few of them, and what to do to begin countering them, so you can assist in your therapy even more.

You're ok right now. You're reading and thinking and spending time with us here at PC (((hugs)))
