reminds me of something that happened with my T yesterday. i texted to apologize for letting him down about my relapse. i asked if he can forgive me. he wrote back "there is nothing for me to forgive". i was like ????? what the heck does that mean? Ts can be so confusing and vague.
i get the sense my T is kinda hurt by what happened but doesnt want to admit it, so hes playing like its all good and dandy no matter what i do.
when i read what your T said, i would like to think she meant that there isn't a place for an Im sorry as its just all part of the work and process of what happens in long term therapy
