Hi Tallulah,
I am recently new here too. I've been in therapy for just over a year. I would suggest you take a read of the Archives as well when you have time - it will give you a good feel of the people and issues that are talked about here. A great place from what I can see to discuss issues of therapy and feelings and thoughts of what we go through, each with our own issues to work out.
Maybe you should ask yourself how or why you thought the workshop would help you - why you decided to go. Did you go just because your T suggested it and thought it would give you extra time with him somehow and so maybe you felt you did not get that from him? As it didn't go as expected, I can understand where you might be angry or miffed with the T for even suggesting it. What did he say you migh get out of the experience. It could be a matter of mixed messages and motivations on your part and his if he suggested or somehow implied you would get something and you did not. In essence, it sounds to me you went there with certain expectations and did not get the expectation met. Was your expectation realistic and did your T really contribute to that unmet expectation or not - maybe approach your thoughts from that angle.
