t would probably just sit and wait for me to talk first. but i wouldn't so after a while she'd prob say something to try get me to talk by acknowledging it's been a tough time, if i could update her on what's happened about it since last session.

or she knows once i'm upset she'll get nothing so she'd distract me by talking about something else completely and come back to it when i'm a bit calmer.

it sounds like you are upset with your t's response. how would you have ideally wanted t to respond?
