I haven't seen T now for two weeks. I see T again tomorrow. When I left my last session I was really mad with T about a lot of things. Now there is really only one thing I am angry about. But I don't know what to do. I know T was just trying to help when she said what she said, but it made me really mad and defensive. I don't know what to do tomorrow when I see her. I don't know if I should just try and forget it along with everything else, or if I should bring it up even though I think she is going to think I'm stupid. I hate all these mixed feelings.

Googley, I am sorry you have a rough session last time. I know how hard it can be to confront T (or other people) with the things that bother us but I think it is important to do it especially if you are harboring anger. Pushing anger side never seems to lead to good things. It inadvertently creeps up on you later. I think therapy is just the place where you should be able to bring up the things that bother you and be able to resolve them in a positive way.
Thanks for this!
googley, Sannah

I'm sorry you're angry with your T about your last session. I think the best policy is always to be honest with your T, otherwise why are you going? If you're angry, it's important to discuss it, especially why you got mad and defensive. Does that happen outside of therapy with others, too? I think it will be very productive to discuss your angry feelings towards your T even if it will be difficult.

Thanks for this!

(((((((((( Googley )))))))))) In 3 yrs I have been angry with T for a whole range of things... this is one way I know it's not a "paid friend" relationship; for the sliding scale fee I pay, no friend woudl stand for the tirades I come up with some times ... what I wanted to tell you is that T's reaction will be different from that of anyone you have ever known; she weathers all; she is well adjusted enough to know that it's not really about her; the two of you will come out of it stronger.

I say, let yr anger rip - and learn from the experience. It's a wierd relationship, but it works....
Thanks for this!
