IDK if this rings true for you but children are especially sensitive to and indignant about injustice. It’s hard to hold fairness as an ideal and simultaneously to accept how pervasive unfairness is and how complacent most people are about that.

If you have any degree of parental transference or if you sometimes relate to your therapist from a child-like place, your sense of injustice in this deeply bizarre and unequal relationship can be very acute. If the T slights you or misunderstands you or exercises poor judgement or whatever, you might experience it very differently from the way you’d experience that sort of thing in another context. Because if you’re subordinate in another context, you’re generally less emotionally vulnerable and you’re still operating from within your adult mind.
Thanks for this!
