I've got a lot to say to my therapist next session. I'm not sure at the minute, cause there's some stuff I feel I need to see a female therapist for (not being sexist, just is complicated). Just not sure at the minute
I know what you mean, you statements can indeed be confrontational. And I am certain that ALL therapists know this, when a ''you'' statement is negative
