So this is what she said. "I'm sorry Anglo, I keep doing that. I keep getting it wrong, I don't mean to, but I'm sensing anger and outrage when it's not coming from you. It's coming from me. I'm outraged for you."
The conversation carried on like that she explained the same thing again and then we moved on. I don't understand it, admittedly I don't accept care or concern very well, but I thought T's were meant to have their emotions in check? I know she's human but it's thrown me off a bit because I have no idea how to interpret what was said. How would you react? Can you please give me some ways to think about this? I'm clueless.

I think it sounds a bit like a T fresh out of counselling 101.
A therapist meets plenty of cllients who react differently to their abuse. It's not so surprising or unusual to have to wait a while and explore what really is going on underneath.
