Do you think that it's possible to talk to your T about this? It seems to me that, whether or not her intention was to be dismissive, it's important that you felt that way... and important that you seem to feel that way a lot when you interact with your T.

If it were me, it would be something that I'd need to address... because how can you have a "therapeutic alliance" and feel understand and heard if you're constantly feeling dismissed?

Does that help? I'm not sure that anyone can tell you what your T actually intended, and it's hard for me to picture what happened well enough to say how I'd feel. I know that I'm pretty sensitive to stuff like that though, so it would likely bother me (and I probably wouldn't even realize it until I left!)
Thanks for this!
