{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Freewill}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} If you don't tell your T, how is he going to "fix" it? It's okay if he winces in empathy for you. That's what he's there for. Him showing you his pain for you is a way to validate your feelings, believe me.

Next time he asks you if "that makes you angry," sit with the feeling of what you are talking about. What would you feel if you were witness to the same thing happening to your son or any child? What would you do?

My anger is what saved me. It was my motivator for many, many things, not just overcoming what happened to me.
