I'm feeling a little upset about something that happened in T today.
One or two sessions ago (I lose track of time sometimes ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps she talked about them and I had an out of body experience? I'm kind of feeling like I'm at a loss for words right now. I kind of feel hurt. - or am I just being a baby about it all??? ![]() ![]()

The way she said "more", it sounds like she already commented on them at another time? But she didn't? It is confusing. Do the two of you do dream work together often? I know some Ts aren't into dreams. If you have never discussed dreams together before, maybe she is one of those Ts who don't like to work with dreams. I think it is worth asking about! I know if it were me, I would be forever discouraged from bringing up a dream with her again, after that response.

I agree with sunny, it IS confusing. Just knowing what you posted, I would have been scratching my head too, but like you I probably wouldn't have said anything at the time. These things always tend to bug me later, when T isn't readily available to help clear it up.
I think it sounds like she thinks you already talked about the dreams. Either she is mistaken or you forgot (do you dissociate in session sometimes? I do). I think, either way, it'd be appropriate for you to talk to her about it. If you find that she did give you her thoughts and you just don't remember it, that in itself will give you both some useful information. All that to say, I don't think you're overreacting at all and I would likely be spiraling out about it too in your shoes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

We have done dream work before in the past (it related to SA but never a dream about T etc...) - Perhaps that is why? - The dreams I wanted to discuss where about her. Nothing about SA etc.. just fears I had about her - I think

I think it's possible, and more likely, that she's not lying but just thinks you had a conversation that you didn't actually have. Unless she meant she doesn't want to talk about the dreams at all, but that doesn't seem very, um, therapeutic? I don't think she's lying, though.

I wonder if she thought about the dreams and then forgot that she hadn't actually shared her thoughts with you?
My T leaves me voice mails after sessions. Twice, he forgot to do it, and when i called to remind him, he said that he had thought of the perfect message in his head and then forgot that he hadn't actually called and left it. Of course, maybe he's more scatterbrained than most people ![]() I would ask her about it. I know it's so so so hard to ask T those kinds of questions, but in the end, it's harder for me to be stuck wondering and spiraling and jumping to all kinds of conclusions that may not be true. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
