> doesn't matter who's right or wrong here. the fact is you had strong emotions and reactions to certain stimulus. i think it's important that you discuss this in session. maybe it's not about what you understood or misunderstood but about your emotional reaction. do you think it was over reacting? or was there a reason behind your feelings such as fear of betrayal, abandonment?? the fact of dumping him before he dismissed you?Yes I am angry with him, but how I handled the anger, was overreacting, at least that is what I am thinking. I am upset that he took my trust and confidence and squashed it like a bug. To me telling a client who has trust issues that he is a bad liar, is like him telling a victim of abuse that he is a good wife beater. I do plan on telling him how it made me feel for him to tell me that especially after it took me over 4 months to trust him. I don't think a T should ever disclose this about himself, it is for his wife and his mother to worry about, but not me! I should feel safe with him.
I feel much better after I sent him a card today saying I am sorry for the overreacting to my angry feelings. (it still says I am angry but I am sorry for the overreacting) Thanks for the hugs! How have you been? I have been wondering about you! Take care>
