This is a totally different thing, but it was like my marriage counselor not understanding that I was scared by H punching the wall a few months ago. While my female T said she got how it was scary, because it would make me feel vulnerable. Especially since I'm a foot shorter than H and much less strong. MC didn't seem to understand that (and said he'd punched walls, too). T said he probably didn't understand because he was male--though about the same height as me!

That's good that you told him the one location scared you, because it would probably scare other clients, too. Hopefully he'll pick the non-scary one.

Thank you! I agree with you. Fist punching through things is never a good thing. My H has a history of that. It hasn't happened in a while and I am so thankful. It's very scary when that happens. Truly!!

I want to say more but I'm not in a good place. I truly feel your heart with your counselors response. I've felt that myself in a different way.
