Want a re-do on my session

Meet with T today, and something was just off! I want a re-do on the session!!

I just felt incredibly uncomfortable in her office...it didn't feel "right" to me, and I had such a hard time talking to T because her office just felt unsettled and unsafe. I felt like the session was totally wasted...I didn't ask the questions I wanted to ask, I couldn't concentrate, and I just felt like something wasn't quite right.

I did tell T that her office felt uncomfortable to me...she even agreed that something felt off today. I don't know what it was, but I really hope things feel "normal" next week. Usually, T's office feels calming and safe, but not today.

Anyone else ever had their T's office just feel "off?"

Does it count if the therapist's office has never felt on? or safe?

I think I mostly felt that the session was off in some way when I announced that I didn't want to be there and walked out after 15 minutes.

I was honestly very tempted to walk out, or just ask if we could go somewhere to meet, but I decided to suck it up. It wasn't that I didn't want to be there, and I mostly felt okay with my T...it was the room itself that I was uncomfortable in.

Sure - every feeling counts! I'm sorry your T's office has never felt safe.

For me, though, that sudden shift from a place feeling safe to decidedly unsafe was very unsettling.

I think the feeling comes from us. We just attach it to the outside world.

I don't recall that ever happening to me.
(But I have a very selective memory )

Yes. I am quite sensitive and I know the littlest thing can throw me off. My t has said that I should always tell her if its like that, and then she tries to give me the best explanation she can (maybe she wasn't feeling to well, maybe she was stressed about something else, maybe I hadn't had enough sleep, it could be anything!). I also let her know and say that I don't feel safe. And she adjusts to that- gives me room to breathe, doesn't talk about hard topics, reassures me in anyway she can (I have trust issues). Its good that you talked to t about it and hopefully the next meeting is back to being normal.

I know how unsettling that subtle difference is...
