My problem is that in the few text messages that I've exchanged with her since the blow-out, I don't get the impression that she thinks that any errors happened on her end. In other words, this was all **my** over-reaction and if there was any difficulty it was a "misunderstanding." I think I understood her just fine, though, and think she screwed up hugely.

Have you ever known a therapist to outright apologize for an approach and acknowledge that what they said in a session was damaging to a client's progress or well-being?

I haven't and I'm apprehensive as ****
I haven't had any Ts mess up severely. However, when I was in rehab as a teen, I got into a huge thing with one of the Ts there, and it went crazy so that my clinical psychologist had to get involved, etc... and she did apologize and realize that she didn't know me enough to try to push something on me that I didn't want.

In the end, they're human too. Mistakes can happen, it just sucks in that situation.

I'd tell her how it made you feel. No blame, no rage, just honestly telling her how you feel and that you're having a hard time dealing with it...
