Hi..
my therapist is awesome. This week has been hard though. He was firm with me today (yes I needed it). But he prodded, and I ended up raising my voice at him. Frowner i have never done that with him!!!! He wasnt mad and actually said good. I'm terrified and have been bawling. my next session realistically isnt far away but feels like forever. So I am scared.

((( Ang ))). anger came up briefly in T today. after saying how clients get angry at him, he condescendingly said something like "you'd never get mad at me, though", and he's right. i don't do anger, can't even fathom it at this point. i understand what you're saying. i'm with you. and i know it might not feel like it, but i think you'll be ok ... Hug two
Thank you for all your responses. Therapy has been good but so intense. He and I talked through what happened and he tried to reassure me. He showed me how he could be firm and raise his voice without anger and still be there. It helped but it is still terrifying. But it allowed me to go into a deep memory that still affects me.i know there is a long way to go. Thank you for your answers, any shared experiences would be appreciated. Angela
