I’m not sure how to make sure that a therapist doesn’t completely misunderstand me.

Is it “normal” for a therapist to simply say “misunderstandings are inevitable” especially to someone who has already been hurt by misunderstanding from doctors and or therapists?

I don’t think I’m a “horrible person” and that includes me not being a “horrible person” in therapy either. I’m fairly sure I haven’t lashed out at a therapist especially out of context. But even if I had done.. well it would be within the context of my pain that I’m getting help for?

But a therapist lashed out at me out of context. This could be some technique more common in certain locations

If I could move to a different country I would No sarcasm at all

I’m usually someone who wants to “fix” misunderstandings ... or I used to be .

I think the freeze, flight, fight (or fawn) concept is of value - i don’t even know what I’m saying here

If you can relate to the idea of freeze, flight, fight (or fawn) I’d welcome any replies. Or any other (supportive) insights. (Hugs)

Mostly I resort to “avoidance” these days. I don’t think this is healthy for me
