Has anyone had a therapist tell them that sometimes they're not going to discuss ruptures between them immediately because the issue is too heated and the therapist will get angry? And so even if the patient is very upset about an issue, the therapist will choose not to discuss it for the time being until the therapist feels more calm about it and can get more clear about it. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience. This is what my therapist told me recently and I'm having a hard time dealing with it because it's very hard for me to just leave issues I'm upset about and not be able to discuss them for a week or two, even if I know that I will be able to eventually discuss them. Just wondering if this sounds reasonable and, if so, how I can better learn to tolerate it.
