Is the opposite of how I was in my session yesterday. I lost it with my T for no reason (well a stupid reason I completely imagined). We recovered and I left feeling only mildly embarrassed. Today I feel SO much shame.

I'm a professional person, very rational in my everyday life. Why am I so out on control in session sometimes? Does my T think I'm like that always. Do they forgive our transgressions.

NB: I accused T of lying.
Thanks for this!

Now THAT'S a rupture! Okay, not necessarily. But probably some transference going on is all.

Well they may have been lying? Not very professional, right?

We all have to vent. This is just part of the job for the therapist. On your next visit or maybe even prior to the visit if you feel you were in the wrong and being harsh you should write an email to follow up just letting them know your sorry, you aware of your actions and that maybe "?" triggered the remark or outburst.

Give it a try and like with anyone in this world you will find that forgiveness and apologies go much further than insinuations and negative remarks.

Interesting that you accused your therapist of lying, because you also accused me of lying the other day. It sounds like a lot of transference IMO only. Good luck in solving your situation.

It's very normal to react strong in therapy. They know you're not normally like that, and they're okay with it. They deal with it all the time.

The weird thing was I wasn't mad about the "lying." I was like "well you're lying and I know it so **** off." Then T got mad. Ugh. I'm crazy paranoid.

Good point gtgt, I'm sorry if my issues clouded my reaction to your post.

I CAN be rational, just not in the moment. I'm embarrassed.
