Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

I'm sorry that you spent those years in frustration. I understand now that you likely knew the terrified 10-year-old was in danger, but doing what was right would've meant my folks would've taken me away from the weekly refuge of your office.

I can't imagine how frustrating it was, knowing you had the means but not the power to stop the abuse. For so long, Doc, I was angry. Furious, even, at how you let me down.

And now I understand that you were also furious, at knowing it was the only safe option I had to live with. You trusted me to handle whatever happened next, Doc.

You were the first one to trust me. And until a couple years ago, the only one who did. I'm sorry, Doc, but you were right.

I'm crying because you made the right call. Thank you for making the best of the world's crappiest hand ever dealt.
 
You keep asking me the same questions about the same issue, expecting a different result every time where I suddenly feel like telling you what's wrong. Most people have enough sense to not poke a sleeping bear, but noooooo... you cattle-prodded the dang critter like he's a green olive.

And now you're trying to change the subject, like distracting the very-irritated bear by smacking it with a runaway Peterbilt 18-wheeler.

One of us is clearly not playing with a full deck. But alright, I'll just sit here like a Grumpy McGrumpster, while laughing at the mental image of you poking the bear.
 
(First session)
T: so did everything that happened make you angry at all?
Me: ummm a little I guess not so much anymore
T: Mm, I thought so. You probably have anger issues.
:confused::confused::confused: Go back to school you quack and quit fishing for something irrelevant to work on! Not everyone fits in your little mold of what emotions you think I should be feeling, I wasn’t angry before but I am now!
:shifty:
T: How do you know your father resented you you can’t assume that
Me: oh your right, guess he only tells me how I screwed up his life all the time or calls on my birthday to tell me he never wanted me and the only good thing about that day was the nice weather because he DOESNT resent me :cautious:
But the one I hate is when sarcastic T says, how’s that working out for you? I always rely with, just fine thanks:shifty:
When I told T I didn’t know if I was able to reschedule (breaking it off, I was changing T’s) she gets all angry and says “you’ve still got a lot of issues to work through don’t you agree?”
Yup sure do. With someone who actually knows what they’re talking about and won’t just lead me around in circles you twit
