It sounds like a very damaging form of Gestalt therapy your first T is practising. Incredibly outdated and irresponsible to say the least.
I know it's hard (especially with a T you have a history with) but try not to blame yourself for this. You did what you felt you needed, and she clearly has no idea about what you needed from her. I think this experience might be a valuable (albeit painful) reminder that she can't be of use to you going forward. I hope you can draw on the support of this board and better therapy in order to grieve that loss.  |
Thank you for your message Echoes, that is what Fritz did to Gloria, he mocked and mimicked her, to try and provoke and get a reaction.
I think sometimes my t wants a reaction but most of the time she gets me to shut down so much that I can't even speak. It's excruciatingly painful.
Sometimes she is so good that it makes up for these painful times. She said is trying to helps but I don't see how that is helping me or anyone, there are ways and means of helping someone that don't involve shaming or mocking.

That is so true but I always have hope with this t that things can be different. I think tonight I learned that this is a cruel way to get a message across. It also was very childish.

Thank you Pennster, right now it's feels as though it was my fault but logically I know it wasn't.
