Who is this person, and how do I talk to him/her?
Have you ever felt this way in therapy? Has the other person been understanding? My family of origin closed down communications. It was one of their main styles of un-relating from when I was a baby.  I feel hurt that many in my life have had this style - mostly family and professionals

Hmmm...
Therapists are paid at least to attempt to understand, and some sort of communication is essential in that transaction. I've seen only a couple dedicated therapists, and my impression is they did try to understand and try to communicate. I did not gain much from those encounters, but I cannot fault those particular few therapists. I have heard "horror stories" about other therapists, though.  The damage a dysfunctional family of origin can do to a young one is ... significant. Add the "acute" trauma of dysfunctional therapy to the "chronic" trauma of upbringing...
