UGH, YES. My T gets it because she's been in therapy. Last session she said "When I first started therapy, I would walk out and tell my T that she just sliced me open, rubbed salt in my wounds and then asked me to leave." Of course, it doesn't really help ME in the moment. I hate it. The thing that helps is that I walk to and from therapy, and my T suggested that I name everything I see as I walk home, it helps ground me and get me out of that post-session carp.
It is terrible, though.
