When I wrote out a detailed disclosure of my past, I gave my T explicit instructions on how NOT to handle this letter during our next session. My T for whatever reason totally ignored my request and did exactly what I did not want to happen. The fallout from this was significant. The fact that I went back and faced this breech and actually told her I didn't like what she'd done was important. She didn't directly apologize for it, but she clearly heard me and seems to be more considerate how when discussing things I write. We still have yet to fully discuss the contents of the letter; but because of this breech and handling the aftermath our interaction has improved.
