Hi Daisy,
How sweet, your T got it right! Thank you for sharing! I am smiling for you. When these moments happen I hug them to myself like a warm fuzzy blanket. Sorry I don't know your whole story, as I have only read some of your stuff from the archives.
I agree with you that T's are not "just anyone", it's great that your T understands.
I said something similar to my T today. I was apologizing for my meltdown/outburst, and she said "you don't have to apologize for getting mad" and I said, "I am so embarrassed to have gotten mad at you anyway".
(I got mad at T because something she said sounded like my mother's words and it hurt)
She tried to get me to understand it's OK to get mad at her. I am still struggling to grasp this concept.
