But the bigger issue (maybe) is why does the new T feel the need to take a side or pronounce on who is right here? Can they not just hear where you’re coming from and try to honour your feelings? Why do they feel the need to agree or disagree with you? It seems to me that their job is to try to understand you.

I would have found it helpful if she had focused on trying to understand, it did feel that she took the other therapists side as she made no comment on the therapists part in it, only on mine. When I was seeing the old T, I carried on seeing her after the rupture. That T was quite analytical and gave me an analysis of why I had the emotional reaction that I did, and I felt shame at the time. It was only later that I looked back on it and thought that perhaps the way the T dealt with the rupture wasn’t quite right as it felt in a way that all the ‘blame’ for the rupture rested with me. I guess I feel that the new T took that approach too.
