Dinah,
I'm so sorry you came out of that session feeling shamed. That must be just awful. And certainly not at all helpful. I hope your plan to increase frequency with T1 works out, and that it's not too much of a burden.That said, and perhaps from my own perspective as someone in training, I think you should tell her how her style comes off to you and what you felt when you left today. I know it's not your job to set her straight, but I think she could really learn from your feedback. You've been in therapy for a long time, and you know what does and does not work for you. That is something to be respected. Heck, if I had a client like you, you can bet I'd be asking about what worked and didn't. Why re-invent the wheel?
Did she ever consult with T1? I don't remember if you signed a release for that.
Dinah, darling. I never saw you in braids, but I bet they were very cute. And like Poet, I was not at all shocked or otherwise turned off by your appearance. I think you're lovely, and I was serious when I said I thought I saw a tiny resemblance between us. You have sparkling eyes and a great smile. Not to mention your heart. :)
Wishing you a good solution...
