And you had to pay for that session? If you did, it seems so wrong to pay when THEY don't get it.
I drew a picture for my pdoc recently because I couldn't use words. Otherwise we would have sat there for the entire hour!! An expensive hour, too. (sorry about the harping on finances; I lost my job and don't know how I can keep justifying my pdoc).
I'm sending a cyber slap along with Poet. That should really knock some sense into your t.
Seriously, though, Ts can't read our minds, and when we don't talk, they reinforce whatever they believe about us, wrongly or rightly. So your T headed off in the wrong direction.
Scream at her (I've been recommending ranting and raving lately; it's my new strategy for everyone else!), draw her a picture, bring her some music, write something down. It's your therapy and until they get to know us well enough, it's hard for them to help unless we reach out. I know, seems like they should reach out, but they're not smart enough until we give them something work with.
just my 2 cents,
antigua
