She is always interested in exploring what is happening for me. Thankfully she doesn’t get defensive just curious.
So, often I will say, I felt judged or misunderstood and then we will talk about what happened that I felt t didn’t understand or that I felt judged by t. Often these are feelings that I feel a lot by people in general, so by talking about the why or the when it helps me to explore my own process or withdrawing and silencing myself when I get angry. T encourages me to stay with those feelings and express them with her. When she notices that I am withdrawing she will ask what happening or say she senses that I am feeling a strong emotion and invites me to share that with her.
