I’m still angry and upset about the session when we shouted at each other (17-SEP-12). I don’t know if can make any more progress until this anger is resolved.
I still don’t understand why she was angry at me. I was doing the work within the rules, so what was there to be angry about?

Sometimes being angry doesn't follow rules? we try to say it does, for kids, so life makes sense for them, but life doesn't always make sense. so then what? so then are you left with whatever happened on that day, and you have to roll with the punches? you have to make allowances for feelings. you're being vague about exactly what happened, who got mad at whom about what.

CE,
Are there things that you can do with this anger that don't involve your therapist? I see a pattern where you hold strong feelings in between sessions, and although you and T seem to have a good track record of working things out, I think it adds a lot of stress and tension to your life between sessions. How is your "self talk," as they say? Are you going through obsessive "loops" about this? What are you doing in the meantime between sessions? is this really a pattern or am I washed up and confusing you with someone else? It's quite possible! Maybe I'm all wrong here....remind me what happened on....Sept 17..I cannot find the old thread. In any case, hang in there. Anger is not good for your health! |

CE - your post reminded me of something you said a while back that rang so true for me. You said "When I say, "I hate you", I generally mean, "You don't love me enough." It was really insightful. My other reaction to this post is to wonder if there if could also be another meaning to your anger. Or what it might be trying to communicate to you.

Sometimes I get angry at the people I love when I know they can be doing more for themselves, but for whatever reason choose not to. I am guilty of this as well. It is hard to understand without knowing what happened, however I can't imagine a T as good yours (getting this from your posts that I have read) would get angry just to be angry. I am sure from the way you have described her that it is coming from a loving place.
What is it you need from her to move on? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
