sometimes when we are falling apart inside and doing what we can to communicate that as clearly as possible to our therapists... what they see is very different. it can be so ingrained as to be a habit... falling apart on the inside. collected and competent and in control on the outside. maybe your therapist didn't see that you were struggling so much on the inside. maybe... the manner in which you conveyed your distress (unintentionally) was matter-of-fact. i read something once on how to interpret a counter-transference yawn (what it can mean about what the client is trying to convey). sounds like there was a miscommunication for a time but now... it is different. not sure what is different... if it is a difference in how you conveyed stuff... or if she got to thinking about her yawning and / or where your feelings might be coming from. dunno... could you ask her?
