But I think he realized that I needed him to hear it, probably based on my reaction to him backing out at the last minute, so he did listen to it, just not in session. The response from your therapist about not watching a video for you makes me angry. It's not like you're asking her to watch it for entertainment. It's obvious you're trying to communicate something with it and she should watch it. I hope you're able to express your hurt to her and that you get a satisfying response.

Thank you for sharing your own experience with the recording.

When I said to her, "Well, I asked you to watch the video because I was trying for empathy" she simply said, "I know."
