Wow, good job LLT

Your T sounds great. My T used to tell me ALL the time at the beginning of therapy that it was okay if I got angry at him, and I would think "what is he talking about? I'm not going to get ANGRY at this guy!". LOLOL - I was SO wrong. But the times I've been angry (and there have been a couple of BIG times) have ended up being so healing...because instead of punishing me, or shaming me, or turning it around on me, he listened, he owned his part in whatever happened, he apologized, and we moved forward together, with a better understanding.

Anger is a VERY scary emotion for me. In my experience, anger leads to bad, painful, ugly things. As a result, before therapy, I never really got angry (at anyone but myself). T is helping me learn to feel anger at appropriate times, to express it, and to move through it and past it.

I hope you will pay attention to how you are feeling, and tell T when you feel that anger. She can take it! And I bet it will be very healing

Thanks for this!
