if you tell your therapist youre having thoughts of hurting them or killing them...and have no plan to do so, can they have you locked up?
i have no intention of harming her and am not a violent person but damn...i feel like she has broken me. kind of like she took apart a watch neither of us have any idea of how to put it back together.
adn this is bringing up some extrmely scary violent urges.

I mostly luck here, rarely post.
The short answer is "yes". If she feels you are a danger to her, to yourself, or to anyone else, she may have you confined for a 72-hour hold for your safety as well as hers.

Plan or no plan, she can do this if she sees fit.

Well I just told her what I was feeling. She didn't seem the least bit alarmed. We had a great session.
What the f@ck. I don't understand how it can go from one pole to the other. Oh well.

convey your hurt and pain and other feelings, disappointment or even rage by using words to describe those feelings to her. don't say you want to hurt her. you can say " i wish you hurt as badly as I hurt so you would know how much you have hurt me" or something but say it it in such a way that you are not making a threat.
