I mean, didn't rr's therapist handle her punching a door? And give her an ice pack? That's what a therapist should be like when confronted with strong emotion imo. They go to school to be taught how to deal with emotions and then they can't and then they make clients feel guilty? Uh uh. Scam.

I've been told I'm over-empathic. I certainly have weak spots for certain people like future ex. Learning not to be over-empathic towards him was majorly liberating. I recommend it.
ATAT: I bow to your superiority in saying everything I am thinking, and writing it much clearer than I can *insert bow down emoji, but for pretend, bc I respect SD*

Art--Agreed. I do not like she told you she felt attacked. I mean unless you were literally screaming in her face, and were threatening...you weren't attacking her. I dfinitely think she is enmeshed, and you should not take responsibility for it.

I know you don't want to say specifics, and I get that, but i Just find it REALLY hard to believe you were "attacking" your T.

Also, sorry you had a crazy person as a caller today.
Thanks for this!
