I've felt I've raised my voice, but I'm not sure if I have. Either way, she does seem to try to be open and non defensive, as well as tries hard to see why I'm hurt and why I'm angry even if she really doesn't understand intellectually why I find XYZ a hurtful phrase.
This is pretty much my T. I have shared profanity rants that I wrote up regarding the upsetting event well after I had gotten past my mad. I do not talk about my anger, hurt, being mad when I am still feeling those things, so usually it is a calmish discussion. She does a great job of keeping it about me which I find refreshing. She has apologized some times and not other times. She has modified things most the time and clarified boundaries on a few times.
