One of the things that prompted me to leave Madame T, was the realisation that I was managing her. By this I mean that I had to be careful what I said to avoid triggering a negative reaction. "Walking on eggshells." She could be angry and defensive.

I felt that one shouldn't have to manage ones own therapist. But perhaps I was naive or unreasonable.


Do you feel you have to manage your therapist? Is that a normal part of the T relationship, or is it a sign that something is seriously wrong?
