I guess we all have different internal world's / experiences / perspectives / perceptions, so happy to hear your perspective.
I was previously reliant on others, so for me, owning my reactions to my therapy experience, gave me power, rather than letting my T own that power. And I was able to get to a place of being more self contained / self reliant. Maybe there isn't a right or wrong, but a path of least resistance, one that brings us a more comfortable existence and maybe that is different for everyone.
I am sorry you had such a difficult experience with your T.
