Thank you, Waterbear. I don't think my T is insecure about her bf. She wants to keep his identity out of my therapy as it's not relevant to our work together, and that's her right. In my email I took responsibility for how the session went but I wrote how I felt frozen and incapable of speaking after she redirected me so abruptly. She will probably apologize but I don't think she will admit to have handled the situation wrong. She was trying to make the session productive instead of going over old tapes about wanting to be in her life.
Thanks for this!
