Sorry you're feeling like this. Are you sure people are still bothered about what you said? It sounds ridiculous to still be offended by something so inoffensive that was said all that time ago. Who actually said they were bothered? From what you say its the therapist that brought up the issue not the people in the group. So maybe they are not really bothered in a hostile sense, but just shared how they felt at her prompting. There's a big difference. I don't understand why she would bring it up. Was it relevant at that point? And besides, I totally agree with you about leading a conversation with questions. It tends to close off areas for discussion rather than keep things open and spontaneous. Saying something like that in the context of group therapy should be totally acceptable not risky.
Sorry, hope things improve. Give your therapist a rocket for not supporting you.
