Maybe he heard in your statement some blame towards him for your having left other sessions more unhappy than when you went in. I don't know, I'm just guessing. When I tell my T I get depressed after sessions with her, she feels like I'm blaming her and on some level, I usually am.
> He cited my statement that "my goal for the day was to leave the session not more unhappy that I started it" as one of the statements that he saw showed my anger. I considered it a valid goal, and one that I wanted him to know about because it was likely that I would need his help to meet it. I still don't see why he says that it shows anger - for me it was a statement of fact.
