Yes, I remember you mentioning this before and it’s helpful for me to hear about because it gives me hope. I’m actually quite polite to my T, but possibly passive-aggressive and I express pretty openly to him how hard it is for me to come to sessions. In the past, I’ve sent emails blaming him for this. I don’t really know how those affect him, except now I’ve learned that all his other clients have warm & fuzzy feelings for him, so perhaps he perceives me as a challenge? It makes me feel a bit like a misfit though. I never swear or throw things or storm out though. As I’ve mentioned before, in my life outside of therapy I follow all the rules of life and society and am perceived as responsible and upbeat. I almost don’t recognize the high maintenance crazy version of me that shows up for therapy.
