T cursed at me, but it was alright....

I must say, I had quite an interesting session today....me and my T started talking about drugs and stuff, and i guess i havent been an angel in that regard this week....immediately after revealing a few bits of information, she replied "YOU DID THAT WITH A ****IN HEART MURMUR?!?" (yeah, i have a heart murmur btw) I have to admit, i was taken aback. I was rather shocked that she was cursing at me, out of frustration of my actions. I knew the info revealed would probably elicit some reaction, but certainly not this. To be honest though, i was first hurt, angry, and upset about it and the ensuing sentences, but after a while i realized that she only said it because she cared. A few minutes after that, i told her about a friend who had tried to end her life this week (shes was in the ICU for a little while), and T was as compassionate as I've ever seen her. I feel like we really connected this week, both in anger, and in despair.

(sorry if the post is choppy and poorly written, i've had a rather long day...)

To me, her cursing (while the words were probably not the most professional) at least shows her sympathy/empathy with and for you...that is good Better to show she cares than not at all! Glad for you!

And I hope your friend gets better

I had something like that happen between my T and me and realized it was mostly my T trying to get my "attention" :-) so I wouldn't do something dumb again.

Oh, I gave T permission long ago to "mirror me"...that's all I'll say
