(I am trying to figure out if this is just my unique douchiness at work or if these are non-normal responses)

What happens when you tell your therapist -- assume pointedly but politely (no foul language, raised voices etc) -- the ways in which they've upset you?

My batting record is currently 2 for 2 of Ts not quite being able to handle it. So, I'm trying to figure out if my expectations are seriously out of whack.

Former T: was defensive all the time and finally ended with accusing me of being abusive towards her (never raised my voice, used foul language etc).

Current T: started out being defensive both times. First time around, became calm and caring after I emailed her saying how upset I was about her getting defensive.

Second time around (yesterday), she started out being defensive and when I argued back, she started crying. Said it was because of how bad I was feeling but I'm pretty sure it's because she felt cornered.

I didn't cry at all -- I thought we were just having an analytical discussion and I didn't see anything to be terribly emotional about.

You're welcome to comment on my situation but I'm curious about your experiences.
