Telling the therapist things I would never tell other human beings was not a relief or release for me. And when the therapist responded - I felt even more like an idiot for saying them. There was no making sense or untangling of anything. I do believe the therapist thought it happened -she one time made reference to working through something and I responded with wth are you talking about because my experience was definitely not that. The only thing that therapy left me with was confusion and a feeling of being duped (these are not how I normally react to interactions with other human beings).
