Conversely, I wish I felt this way. When she cries, my instinct is to attack. It doesn't feel particularly liberating, and certainly not kind, to disregard her feelings. I know therapy is not about the therapist's feelings, but my treatment of her as an emotional punch bag is pretty vile. How did your therapist respond when you took care of her?
