My t is great, but one time early on in our therapy, when we were struggling with boundary issues, I said, "Well, if there isn't any connection or closeness, then why am I even coming in to see you? I may as well just read a book about therapy or learn from a cassette tapes instead." She replied, "Well, that certainly is an option for you." That ticked me off!

Also, I did not like it that I told her over and over for years that I wanted/needed her to give me a hug but she wouldn't offer one. She finally admitted that she was afraid if she did, I would self-injure. I never understood why, since I don't SI. I've only cut like 1 or 2 times in my whole life, and it was years ago. She finally gave in and was willing to hug me, but I wished that she had just been up front with me to start with and told me her concerns about SI. Without knowing why she would not hug me, I was really feeling like I was bad and untouchable, or that she wanted me to suffer alone.

I don't like it when she takes phone calls in session. Normally, she turns her phone off but sometimes she gets paged.
