How would you feel about trying another T? I wonder if this is something you would be able to talk about with current T?

I think you should share how painful it was to hear her comment, and perhaps you and T can discuss what to do next. Can she try a different approach? Or recommend another T who has a different skill set?

I really like my T, I'm not sure if I could emotionally handle seeing another one.
My T did say, "I know that's not comforting to hear, and I'm sorry" so she knows that what she said sucked for me to hear. We are going to try a different approach (we've been doing CBT/ACT) and see if that works?
