Take this for what it's worth (and I only do this because you're a therapist): It does seem that you present things to us that you don't like about your therapist quite often and then say you know that people here don't like her, so it's a bit of a set up to do that. Many of us feel this way when that's what's being presented most of the time. Maybe it would help to pull all of that back to yourself and see how much is about you and how much is about her without saying, "I know many of you don't like her?" Because if I initiate laughter with my therapist by telling something painful in a light way, and my therapist's laughter upsets me, that's about me and what I'm trying to get from her by doing it that way.

We all present things that we choose to present on here for various different reasons. By being a t do you think I don't have the right to do that or somehow it's different for me ? I am just curious as to why you would think that. Instead of saying many of us feel that way, why not say YOU feel that way, perhaps many do or don't but I don't think any of us have any right to speak on behalf of anybody else on here.
I know it's about me and not about my t and I did say that I felt very upset by it in my post.
Why not say you feel set up by me saying I was trying to make my t laugh and when she did you feel like I set her up, is that what I am reading correctly from you? I can see now that there is a dual process happening here and the same pattern that happens with my tis happening with some people here.
Just because I am a t does not mean I don't have a right to talk about my therapy here or to express my hurts in therapy.
