With or without you - Thanks for your comments. I think this has all been so hard for me to deal with right now more because of running into my rapist and less than about T following me. I think that both of those things were not something that I was anticipating experiencing that night and would have been fine if they never happened. I think by focusing on the earlier part of the evening with T although it was a little bizarre for a bit, everything prior to that was ok which is something that is a lot better to focus on rather than the latter with whom I ran into at the coffee shop. It was for that reason after I posted about that, that I was looking for more support, Thanks for being able to provide me with some. Means a lot.

As to the situation at the cafe, I do think your T was following you to make sure you did not puke. When she said that she would be mad, (at least from what you say here) she did not say who she would be mad at. My guess is that in saying that she would not bring you back to this cafe, she would be mad at herself for bringing you to a place and talking about issues that caused you to use bad coping mechanisms. That she did not judge your level of stability accurately.
Googley I also want to thank you for all of your kind words, and yes it has been a struggle and definitely triggering, Thanks

I think I am just having a really crappy time with seeing my rapist and not getting enough sleep because I am on edge. Sorry If I am coming across as *****y at all. I am having a hard time coping with flashbacks and the likes...

Melbadaze- I wasn't only looking for support for seeing my rapist. I was also trying to make sense of what had happened earlier in the night,

So your rewarding experience is not having to worry about your T follow you and you are treated as an adult? I thought you were referring to the type of therapy that you get.

My T does treat me like an adult, I think that she did what she did was out of concern,

yes the therapy is rewarding also...i feel confused now...if it was out of concern then why was you upset by it? i,m feeling theres some lack of emotional honesty here..perhaps thats my stuff..but I react to emotional dishonesty and need to understan why I am feeling that from this thread.

When I was in residential. We would often go out to eat so that the people with ED's would have to face their anxiety. It was based in CBT. Afterwards if they wanted to go to the restroom a Residential Councillor of the same sex would go into the washroom with them. This also happened at the hospital. It was the way they prevented purging. It was a very respected hospital. So I don't find it weird at all.
Thats just my take though. I realize it is different than everyone elses.
Thanks for this!

Thanks, I think that is what my psychiatrist was doing with me, It is almost the exact same scenario. Thanks for sharing this!! It makes me feel a lot better about what happened and understand a lot more why she would have done that. I think I was also surprised because that is the first time that she has ever done anything like that so it was quite unexpected. -And yes I know I said that I felt like I was going to puke but I also said she is used to this because it is my automatic reaction/phrase for when I am triggered.

Thanks again!!

I said that I was bothered by it because it felt like she didn't trust me. Also she had never done that before so I was surprised for lack of a better word. I am being emotionally honest.

Melbadaze -Why do you think there is emotional dishonesty here?
