I’m annoyed and upset with my therapist for about four different things that happened in our last session or two. I really do think that each of these things is a legitimate thing for me to be upset or annoyed about. But that said, it does seem to be a really high number of things for me to suddenly be upset about. I’m not sure what that means. And I really don’t know how to express it to my therapist. I don’t think I can just come out and tell her I’m upset about all of these different things because it just seems like a lot. Even just one would be a lot, much less four. I’m not sure what to do.

If you can't bring it up to your T, can you journal about it? It might give you the words to express what is bugging you. Kit

Do you ever email your T? If so, maybe it would be easier to send it via email so they are already aware when you get to your next session? Sometimes it’s easier for me to find the words when I write it down.
Thanks for this!

I'm annoyed with my T. She said I could text anytime, but she might not respond. I have questions for her! It's so hard for "Little Cool" not to feel abandoned.

I'd say bring them up. Maybe write down everything you're feeling now, and bring your notes with you to session. I do this sometimes, and when I go over my notes I often find that my feelings have changed or that I see things more clearly because I've had time to calm down. At any rate, I think everything that upsets you is worth bringing up - it might be that there are actual problems in your therapeutic relationship, in which case talking will help, or you might be projecting... in which case, talking will help as well

I would definitely write down everything you're feeling right now.

Then I would give it a day and look at again, but this time take the feelings out and look for facts.

Then I would discuss the facts with my therapist. And perhaps how those facts made me feel. But I would definitely not not discuss it. Chances are you will feel this way again, and it would be better to know how to handle those feelings the second time around.
