Thanks for the input. I appreciate it! Sometimes with things that stir up emotion, it can be difficult to be objective.

I probably was being oversensitive. I have a problem with feeling criticized or judged in many areas of my life when no actual criticism is being made. That IS an issue of mine.

So. . .I guess in some ways, this discussion about my religious beliefs IS connected with my issues. . . because it was just one of many other instances where I thought my t was thinking negatively about me.

I don't want to ask my t NOT to ask questions about my beliefs because I feel that it is an important part of my life, and knowing about what I believe might help her be more effective in my treatment. It's not the questions that bothered me. It was just what felt to me like negative judgments.

I realize too that nobody is perfect, including my t, and she did apologize.

Yes, I CAN forgive her!! It warms my heart that she was even willing to apologize, as my parents have never apologized for anything that they've done over the years that hurt my feelings.

I actually love my t a great deal. . .

Thanks everybody!
