I'm so anxious right now that I'm really tense and I'm tapping my foot so fast I'm annoying myself. I'm seeing my T tomorrow and we're talking about what happened on Monday. I'm kind of mad at him, and he responded to my email that it was understandable I was mad and that he encouraged me to continue to express it to him. But that scares me. I'm so scared he's going to leave me. But then I'm also mad at him because I feel kind of manipulated, almost. He intentionally tried to make himself be different, and that hurt me. I'm so scared, though.

Don't worry. It'll be ok. He sounds very committed to your therapeutic relationship. He won't leave you, even if you're angry with him. And it's ok to feel angry with feeling manipulated into feeling angry. If that makes any sense.
(He sounds a lot like my therapist.)

Keep talking about this until you're all talked out. It is Ok to be angry and tell him you are angry. It is also OK to change your mind 20x during the same session about what you are angry about or even if you are. And our feelings don't always respond to rational understanding.
But trust that he'll keep it all safe and you will get reconnected again.
Take care,
Daisy

It was actually really good. I had group tonight, so I'm a little out of it right now. But I think it was all a giant misunderstanding. I felt a lot better after talking to him. And I made kind of big breakthrough. So it was good.

I'm so glad. I was positive, based on what you've said about him, that he wouldn't be hurtful on purpose.

Hi Sunnydays,
A kind of a big breakthrough is real good. Glad it was all a misunderstanding and he's back in your good graces.
