I was offering something else to come up with.
I hope you'll forgive me for saying this still sounds very emotionally charged for you. Which makes me wonder if it might not be a good idea to spend some time with her on the issue.
And what I was suggesting about striking when the iron was hot was that frank discussion is not easy when one or both parties are really angry, because it can turn into confrontation and defense rather than exploration.
But before I continue in this way, has your relationship with your therapist been a good one? Is she supportive and helpful in general? I realize she reacted badly to something you said. I'd find that very hurtful too. But did this happen in an otherwise good relationship? Or is it a symptom of an otherwise troubled relationship.
