thanks peg. she did just call me to tell me she felt cornered by me and that was why she didnt call back because she felt it would escalate things.
she felt that i cornered her in my voicemail and she didnt have much time so if she had called back, things would get out of control if we tried to talk about it.
she is right. i did kind of corner her.
but i wonder if that changes my point. if i elicit feelings in my therapist accidentally (i didnt intend to corner her) is it right for her to let those feelings get in the way of our therapy and for her to abandon me by not calling me back?
if i act "badly" towards my therapist, is it helpful for her to retreat and disappear? she isnt handling the behavior head on.
