So, you say she was fine with the "internet spelunking" (my phrase, and I've certainly done it) last week, but changed her mind and was angry about it this week?
I wonder what changed her mind?
I think it is fine for a therapist to set a boundary by saying something like "I feel XXXX, when you do XXXXX and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't do it anymore."
That's a professional way of handling it. I wonder why she got so mad over the course of a week?
I would definately ask her what changed.
It also might interest you to know that in the HBO show "in treatment" one of the therapist's clients went WAY overboard into the therapist's private life in one of last week's episode. In fact, I think the therapist may have even used the word "bulldozing" to describe the client's actions at one point. I wonder if the two are related.....
If so, man I would be SOOOOO mad. Dragging personal baggage into therapy is bad enough, dragging baggage from a television show? Well, that's egregious.
Seldom.
