I used to say to my T "you're not being nice", "you're being mean", and "you're not listening to me". She would state facts, but forgot to give empathy at the same time. After months of conflicts, we finally understand each other.

I also relate to feeling alone. There is this thing from my past that haunts me. It is actually more common than people assume. Most people just keep it a secret. But I still feel alone. Neither ex-T nor this T have had a client admit to it...
