Just curious if anyone has ever felt they made their T nervous, and if so was it due to something you said? I've felt like I've made my T nervous a couple times, but I wasn't saying anything to cause it... not sure if I'm just projecting my own nervousness though. Oh, and as a side question, how often are you nervous?

No, but one time I had her at a loss for words (this was with a prior Therapist).

Nervous, not really. Scared, definitely. I've had some awful episodes in therapy that were extremely difficult to pull me out of, and then there is the problem with how terribly impulsive I've been known to get when I'm in an episode. He has expressed several times how scary that is for him (and for my pdoc).

Yes, when discussing my Transference. He seemed on edge. I called him out on it (via email) and he denied it. In hindsight I think I probably projected that onto him.

My T told me she was nervous to broach a subject with me last week, she said that's why she might have been a bit abrupt/to the point. I didn't interpret any nerves or bluntness from her at all at the time. But apparently she was nervous...

She hasn't seemed nervous.

Every time for 50-100% of the session. Sometimes it is just nervous and other times it is a terror response. But I'm weird I think.

I've thought that my T has seemed nervous before, but I've never been sure. Maybe more like uncertain of how to proceed. But I've definitely sensed a lack of confidence occasionally- she might put down what she says or use a lot of qualifiers. That's just my perception though.

Personally, I do get very nervous for most of the session, depending on the day.

T doesn't get nervous. Possibly because she's a robot.

...I'm sure she gets nervous sometimes. Just never with me.

Yes, she has said she gets nervous when I have to interact with my family, or when I have times I am feeling very overwhelmed. I don't know if there are other times, but she has expressed her nervousness, anxiety, and fear on my behalf in those situations.

I made CBT maybe not nervous, but "wary" when I told him some anecdotes relevant to treatment that had TMI info within the stories.

He had a look on his face like "why are you telling me this??"

But by the end of the session he was more relaxed, even bemused by where my conversation had strayed.

Main T is only nervous when I have seemed on the brink of needing hospitalization.

Yes I've made my t nervous, concerned, worried, and at times scared of and for me. As for me being nervous I would say probably a third of the time.

I don't ever remember feeling he was nervous. There were times when he was deeply concerned about the level of my dissociation; and times when he was on high alert for my safety. But he always seemed securely in control at those times and that was very important for me--I needed his stability.

Yes. I could sense when he was nervous about things in his personal life and in session when he was afraid of my challenging him.

exT got nervous few times when he was not comfortable with things which I told him. He was getting very defensive or asking me "why are telling me this?!".

Till now I haven't seen my current T nervous, she's always very very calm and warm; however, sometimes she looks really worried and her eyes become full of compassion and sadness - that's a bit annoying but no stress visible...

I don't think so... Never felt he was so I never asked and didn't say.

I wouldn't say I'm nervous in therapy, guess I was in the beginning but that's too long for me to remember.

No she has not and I can't imagine what she would be nervous about. I do think the woman should be warier or at least more cautious and deliberate when talking to me.
