He felt cold and distant. Barely saying anything to my sadness. Not seeming to understand or care at all.


*sigh* i'm sorry... your Ts behaviour towards you in your last session leaves me with nothing nice to say

ex-T gave me a similar speech when he regretted blurring the boundaries and 'giving in' to an idea, when ironically, it was his idea to fully follow through with it in the first place. similar to your T, ex-T later regretted doing it and tried to put the blame on me. in the end he was doing nothing more than covering his own selfish arse.

unfortunately, we see this time and time again by the stories shared on this forum. it's an incredibly painful lesson to learn when you come to realise that one of the persons you've shared your most vulnerable parts and trust with is only looking out for their own needs and feeding their selfish tendencies i know that this was not the lesson i was intending to learn when i signed up for therapy, but it's probably the one that has left the biggest lasting impression on me and has definilty taken a bit of time to recover from.

be kind to yourself
Thanks for this!
