ECHOES, it sounds like this incident brought up so much for you--very rich. I hope you can discuss further with her. I was struck especially by how your T finished your sentence for you and put words in your mouth about accepting the Monday appointment. It seemed like she wasn't really listening to you or giving you a chance to express yourself. Of course, it is up to you to correct her, but I think she would be interested to her your view of how the interaction went, as she could learn how to be a better therapist from this. It sounds like this experience recalls past experiences for you, and so this whole strand could be valuable to explore.

There was a time, early in therapy, when T would sometimes say to me, "I respect your ambivalence," or "let's sit in your ambivalence for a while." That made me feel really heard and that it was OK to be ambivalent! Seems small, but this reinforcement and validation from T helped me respect my own frequent ambivalence about things.
