I can't remember the first incident but there were plenty of them. The one I do remember though was when she said something like there being no way around how she felt about me--that I was special to her. She said she didn't have what she had with me with her other clients. When I asked what she meant she said she had more distance. She then pointed out some stuff I'd given her--a plant and a book. I said those were representative of my work in therapy. She said, "But you gave them to me!" (Bizarro.) After me being wigged out about it, finally, months later she apologized, saying she was on prednisone and it made her very wired and although she didn't take any of it back she did say she shouldn't have said it. She said that perhaps I didn't do well knowing how she really felt (I had wanted to know how she felt and when she finally told me it felt unsafe.) What did yours do?
> Rigby it sounds like you don't trust your therapist.. it sounds like you're going through some of the stuff I did in therapy. What's the very first thing she ever did, do you remember, that made her seem compromised to you? 'Cause I can remember with mine.
