A couple sessions ago (the week the vaccines were first announced in the news), my T asked me to list everything that I was feeling anxious about at that time.

I gave the vaccine as an example (among others), because it was/is very new. My T said that it was understandable that I was anxious and that apparently it contained cells from aborted foetuses. I didn’t say much at the time, but it sounded like utter rubbish to me. I did check it out later and it turned out to be a myth doing the rounds.

I just think it was an odd thing for T to say. That she believed it does make me lose a little of my respect for her, to be honest. That she told me, when I had specifically told her that it was something I was anxious about, makes me question her professionalism a little bit. But then I also think, does falling for rubbish in the news automatically make her a bad therapist? I don’t know.
