Last week my T said something that triggered me. After the session I had huge and horrible feelings of shame. We talked about it today. I know that the reason I was triggered was because of my childhood and we talked about the feelings and about the root of the shame. Now I'm reflecting on the session I feel that I really wanted more from my T. I wanted my T to express sorrow about what happened. Perhaps even horror that my session with her could have brought up these feelings that I've had to sit with and nurse for a week. Maybe I want her to feel that with hindsight she made a bit of a mistake and to tell me that she felt that. I don't know if that sounds like I'm wanting to blame her for what happened. I don't really think I mean to blame her.

Has anything like this happened to any of you - and how did you deal with it? Did your T handle it differently to mine?
