thank u everyone
the session went okay until the end... when t brought up that he would like me to think of specific things to work on

he even prefaced it with "I know you hate this question but..."

I overreacted in the moment as always and said it seemed that t was saying I'm not doing anything

t clarified and said no he's not saying that, that I've made tremendous progress, but that now things are stabilizing it feels like my goals for therapy are unclear. he said he just wants to know how to help me

I got distressed and kinda yelled at t while covering half my face. t brings up quite a lot that I don't talk much sometimes. I yelled at him why don't you understand why it's hard for me to talk. t sat and let me vent my anger at him. after I was done making a scene t simply said "I care about you junkdna and I want to help you get better"

I felt stupid for getting distressed AGAIN. I felt mad at t for saying that in the last few minutes... knowing full well that it triggers me

I hear ts explanation and understand. but the child within me that came out and yelled doesn't understand

(((hugs))) I'm not fond of that question either. That one, or "what can I do to help you?" If I knew, I'd tell you! Kit.
Thanks for this!
