Yeah - that would hurt. Can you maybe find a more compassionate T who will gently help you, so you are in a better shape to find friends outside of the therapy relationship?

Sorry you are hurting,

SB

SB...we've been working together for 4yrs now. I've been having a new issue we are working on. This issue is causing me extra anxieties & depression. When I was walking out of session, which I had been tearing up & anxious he causally says see ya next Tuesday. I'm thinking does he not see me over here? No supportive encouraging words or send me an email lmk u got home ok no hug nothing but see ya. He just mentioned in session earlier if it gets bad this weekend either go to your moms or hospital. I just would have thought he'd express more care/concern than see ya. So I called him later and said I feel you r blind that u don't really see me today how upset I was. And I apologized for the emails I send.(sent him a few expressing his lack of encouragement) He apologized for not being more supportive basically and our convo turned into I think u r looking for a friend.....I think I'm just looking for compassion like you said.

Ouch, yeah...
