and the throwing a tantrum bit?! Oh HELL no!

All of this is to say I have no idea if your T is a good T or not. How long have you been seeing her? Is this just a one-off bad session? Have there been other times where you felt like she has missed the mark?

Mine missed it greatly last session, and I left really angry without really knowing why. I wrote her an e-mail after telling her I was angry and upset and I wasn't sure why. She wrote back apologizing for pushing something on me, and owned up to what ended up being an "off" session.

Her apology is exactly what I needed, and I know I can go in next week and we'll talk about it and it will be okay.
I had seen her before (five years ago) for like a year , but recently I have been seeing her for half a year. I think it's just a one-off bad session, it had never happened to me before. Even though I do struggle with opening myself I had felt quite comfortable in therapy; she would find ways for me to talk about what bothered me eventually , and I had never felt she had missed the mark before. From the start of this therapy , she seemed a bit worn off and different , but I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't like the way she tried to help me , and I would like to bring up how I felt next session, however I don't know if I will be able...
I'm really glad you could tell her and worked out a solution , was it hard ??
