Yesterday I had a therapy session and towards the end, I misunderstood something of what T said. We started working on chilhood SA and it felt like an attack to me.
She seemed very sorry and then said “Oh no, now you are angry at me” and asked me to look at her and it all went on for several minutes. I was sort of in panic actually. Felt naked and in the end I calmed down and I think I understood what she had meant. Now this morning I realized I have to move our next appointment so i had to text her for that. We had a short text exchange about timing and day and then I felt the urge to write her a letter about how i felt and asking sorry - she was really just trying to do her job. Then I said, I can’t send it, but before closing I got distracted… and sent it instead! I never reach out usually and dont know what kind of boundaries she has but i think pretty strong ones.
And yesterday’s session was just one of those that “I’ll never reach out to her before next session” so imagine, this time I happened to contact (bother?) her multiple times in a row and in a single morning - I just don’t know what to do. She will think I’m nuts.

I feel like leaving to another country.

Could you send a quick follow-up saying, "Sorry, I didn't intend to send that and hit "send" by mistake! Let's just talk about it in session."

Some sessions are really hard and might occasion a follow up email. I really don’t think you did anything wrong. I doubt she’ll think you’re nuts. I don’t think you need to apologize. Working through this stuff is her job.

Thank you for the support..
I didn’t want to write again saying I hit “send” by mistake as that would imply to contact her once again so I tried to recall the e-mail but failed as T had already opened it.
In the end I received a long e-mail from T as response going through the things I wrote and also saying she had noticed I was angry and knew why but it was a sort of projection (which I agree with, now that I have calmed down) she knows it’s a hard thing and also hopes to be able to give me the help and support i need. I hope I am not being close to termination as she is really good and we generally get along very well.
Anyway I will tell her I sent the e-mail by mistake in the next session for sure, because it was a lot of stuff written during a hard emotional moment. Not something I usually do..

I'm glad you got what sounds like a supportive email in response. I should have added in my reply to you that you didn't do anything wrong, because you didn't (and I do get why you were reluctant to email her again).
