Hi Slugdoo,
For raising his voice and scaring you your T just got a hard cyberslap to his head.
When my T thinks I am not listening she says my name. "Poet, what I am saying is..." It gets my attention and doesn't scare me. Otherwise she rarely says my name in a session. I think she reserves it as an attention getter. If she raised her voice I would immediately think she is mad at me.
Maybe you could write down the memories? I'm big on handing my T stuff to read as I run out the door. Drop and dash.
I can't believe your T doesn't have a box of tissues next to where you sit. I thought that was standard in all therapist's offices. I've only cried once in therapy, it was more my inner four-year-old child crying, my T very quietly said "she has a perfectly good reason to cry." I've cried once in almost five years and I would like to think if/when I ever cry again she will somehow acknowledge it. One more cyberslap to your T's head.
I am so sorry your session was so horrible. I hope it was just a very off day for your T because of the EKG. Good luck.
