Anyways in therapy we played UNO and after 2 games I had enough and asked if we had to play. She said no and next time she would bring in Legos and Playdoh. I don't understand why she treats me like I'm either mentally challenged or a little kid. We aren't even that far apart in age. At the end of the session as we were walking out she put her hand on my back but she basically just brushed my hoodie. It was weird. Therapists have rarely touched me. I've dreamt of my transference T doing that but not anyone else. She is a good therapist but I'll be looking forward to when my other one comes back.

UNO, Legos, or Playdoh? Doesn't she want to talk to you? I would feel as you do about it. Frankly, I'd tell such a therapist to stop that or I'd leave. But that's me.
