I guess what upset me the most about what this person said to me, was that they seemed to even deny that anything happened. As if my perception was way off and I had imagined the whole thing. WHICH I DID NOT. I know this person may be trying to find their own way to cope by denying things. Still, it does hurt.
Daisy: This person does the "one-up" type thing on everything. I can say I have a headache, and sure enough they have a headache that is just excruciating... Hmm.
Thanks to all of you for responding. I feel better now. I guess I was just really afraid that I might get the same reaction from my therapist (i.e. well that situation isn't that traumatic, why do you feel like that?).
