Okay, going to swim against the tide here.

Rainbow's therapist has always struck me as very patient and kind - not perfect, but very high quality. The therapist and rainbow have moved past a lot of issues together about boundaries - Googling, house drive-bys, etc. - that the therapist wasn't keen on. They've negotiated about emails out of session. And yet the therapist has stuck by rainbow although rainbow often feared she wouldn't. The therapist actually remembered the day rainbow had surgery, and came to her house after her husband's death.

Rainbow, it was just a bad session, probably because boundaries are such a sensitive place for both of you. I've had at least one bad session with every therapist I've seen. I agree, move on, but it sounds like any mistakes made were unintentional. It's not even a session over which I would assign fault to either of you; you guys came in with two different visions of the session and your therapy, so maybe the thing to do is to sit down next time and get on the same page about what your next steps in therapy should be.
Thanks for this!
