T laughed at me. I don't think my problem is funny. My problem is a little ironic but she still shouldn't be laughing. Keep your laughter to yourself you stupid b***h. Sorry, just venting. Too embarrassed to say what the specific issue is here.

Have you told her it hurts your feelings when she laughs at the situation. My therapist and I try to laugh in session but I specifically said I like to laugh. I hate when therapists sit there and give you a fake empathetic look. I am not there for someone to pretend they care. Each person has there own way of handling it.

My T laughed inappropriately once. I told him about it and we fought about it for a while. He felt he could laugh about whatever he wanted. I informed him differently.

I did try talking to her. Maybe she doesn't mean to laugh. It still annoys me though.

Wow. That's REALLY weird, for her to laugh. Maybe it's an anxiety reaction. Whatever it is, it is totally inappropriate.

The woman I see has mocked me - I don't think it unusual for therapists to do so.

Yeah, maybe she is nervous? IDK. Sorry to hear that stop.

If you tried talking to her about how her laughter makes you uncomfortable and she still hasn't stopped, is it worth thinking about switching to a different therapist? I went through a similar thing with a former T who nervously giggled whenever I discussed traumatic incidents with her. It was just one example of how the woman put her own comfort and needs ahead of mine. If this sounds like your situation, I hope you can find a T who respects and listens to you like you deserve.

It's very hard to find a t in my insurance in my area. So not sure switching is an option. Sorry to hear your t did that. I think I'll try talking to her again.

Try very direct: "When you did this, I felt this" statements. Good luck.
