When I arrived for my session this week, I noticed my T had a visible injury. Okay, it was a black eye. I looked at her and wanted to hurt whoever did that to her. I mean really hurt them. I was horrified. She saw the look on my face and immediately started telling me how she fell on the sidewalk and got the injury. I watched her carefully for signs of dishonesty, but I didn't see any. Still I find myself wanting to destroy that sidewalk. How's that for irrational? I hate to think what I would have done had she told me someone did it to her.

You could be her bodyguard or hitman or something and you could call it even!

You care about your therapist. We're hard wired to want to protect those we care about.
Darn sidewalk.

Sounds perfectly rational to me. I mean, isn't it normal? I mean, are we not supposed to feel that way? Like, is there something wrong with it? Really, all these fantasies I have about saving my T from slavering tigers that burst through the door while we are having a session ... is that not normal??
:-)
(I'd have phoned Home Depot to find out how much it cost to rent a jackhammer. I'd show that sidewalk!)

Shortly after I found out my T was getting a divorce, I ran into her husband in the grocery store. I don't know him, or he me, but I've seen pictures and I saw them together once and I'm sure this was the same guy. I really had to restrain myself from reeming him out about what a jerk he was being. I'm sure it wouldn't have helped my T at all - probably horrified her that I crossed so many boundaries, but it was difficult.
What's worse was that he was buying flowers - I'm sure not for her.
