I'd ask myself, if I could, to look at where she is pushing me, and if it's someplace I need to go.
I'd ask myself if my feeling she doesn't empathize is because she is asking me to think about aspects of myself I don't want to think about.
And I'd weigh those things, I'd talk to her about it all, and see if she is the right therapist for me.
You should be able to argue aka discuss things with your T.
Are you finding her harsh because she is bringing out your defenses by getting you to look at things you need to look at, or is there really a problem with her?
Either way, could you talk with her about it? Could you tell her right off that you don't want to argue, but you need to talk about this?
I need warm.
