My t is painfully honest and at times I get offended and defensive, this usually means it’s a touchy subject and she is getting close to something.
If she were to avoid my wounds would they ever heal or is she digging them up and inflicting more pain?
She is judgemental at times but so am I. I don’t mean to be and upon reflecting at times when I have been judgemental it’s usually me projecting my own prejudices on to someone else. Therapists do judge and they do get tired and run out of empathy but when that happens it’s never the clients fault and they often get hurt, feel judged or shamed because the therapists lack of self care.
