So for the past several sessions I have been thinking about this, and finally decided to post it, t an I have been talking about thoughts feelings, vulnerability, and being more open. I understand that, and we are on the same page about it.
She kept asking if I thought therapy would be successful if I were not sharing and expressing all my feelings and vulnerabilities and being open with her, first and second time I answered no. The third time I got pissed, an told her I felt she was doubting me and our relationship, and she said no way, she was very apologetic, she says im holding back alot, and she sees how it is causing me physical and emotional pain, because I complain alot about tension in session. would you have gotten pissed?

Sometimes the truth pisses me off.

If you complain about tension, then what does she think you are holding back about? Maybe the tension is undefined? I mean, i dont see why she didnt just try to get more detail about the tension, if she thought that was how you were expressing it, instead of getting kind of judgy at you about it. Her job should be to draw these feelings out of you, not to make you more tense.

No. Rarely do I get "pissed" during therapy - and definitely not with my therapist.
If you can't share and be open, what's the point? |

I am always pissed at the first one I see. I would have told her to quit asking me the same question I had already answered.
And I do think therapy can be useful without sharing all of anything.

Yes, I think I would get pissed if my T was asking me the same question over and over again... But I think (or at least hope) that it wouldn't happen as already at the second time I would ask her why she asks me the same question the second time... And as my T always explains everything, I think we would solve this issue before I'd get pissed...

I get pissed about things with my therapist when she pushes me on something i'm extra sensitive about... and that's when she pushes thru it even more with me cos it reveals something really important. It's only happened once in 8 months but when i finally broke it down with her help why i was so defensive about a seemingly innocuous subject it revealed quite a lot. Could this be happening in your therapy?

I don't know about "pissed" but the difference in the quality of your answers and the conversation you had with T as a result feel, to me, like it had more potential to make a difference.

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