I agree.
I don't think I have ever felt like my T had "tricked" me; but on several occasions have left therapy feeling like she deliberately used her training to aggravate/instigate me. At these times it felt like her actions were intended to deliberately harm me or attempt to make me lose it emotionally. Like is some what she gets a sick pleasure out of mentally torturing me.These feeling then make me angry. However, after I chilled out I realized that...she was probably trying to elicit a reaction, but it wasn't because she wanted to harm me...it was to help me gain insight.
Although sometimes is still feels like I am sometimes being attacked or manipulated in therapy, at least now I can step back from those feelings a little quicker and start looking for more positive alternative explanations. Even getting this far has taken me quite some time.
