Absolutely, yes! My therapist has hurt my feelings a number of times. However, we have always worked things out.

Most of the time, my hurt feelings have been because I took something my t said or wrote the wrong way. Usually, I misinterpreted her meaning, or what she said with no negative intent ended up triggering my old traumas from the past.

At times, though, my t is the one who made the mistake and/or we both played a part in a misunderstanding. We've only had one terrible rupture that occurred during an especially trying time for me. That time, it was my t's fault, and it was almost a deal breaker. I was ready to quit and had even begun researching other therapists. We had to discuss it over and over for 4 months until we worked through it.

A few times, I know that I hurt my therapist's feelings too, although she usually didn't say so. I could just tell.

Now that we have worked through that terrible rupture, we are closer than ever before. I am doing better work in therapy too.
