Why do you think your t2 seemed unable to discuss the issues you had?

I don't really know, but you may remember that I had posted on here about her being 'blank slate', she didn't really share her feelings or thoughts. A couple of things she said really triggered me, I talked to her about my feelings and thoughts, but I think we could only repair the rupture if she shared her thoughts and feelings about it too. She clearly regretted one of the things she had said, and kind of took it back when I next saw her, but without any explaination. When I get triggered in therapy I can feel really really terrible, it's like I'm experiencing my childhood trauma all over again. I'd had two weeks of feeling like the cowering child. I really needed her to be real with me and share her feelings and thoughts about it. I brought it up a few times, but she said nothing.
With my first two T's I was triggered quite a lot during my therapy. The great thing for me now is that with my third T I am not being triggered at all.
