How would you take this?
My therapist has been kind and open,
And while she's very kind , we are not doing any therapeutic things that target my severe crippling self doubt. Today, they said something that I just wasn't thrilled about. I was talking about my awful, sadistic mother, and she replied with, "You are not a child anymore"... That was in the middle of her reply, so it wasn't just that line only but I thought, is she saying it to act like I should've gotten 'over' the horrific trauma I went through because I'm an ' adult'.?
Or was it just to give me encouragement that I'm no longer helpless like a child? Either way I felt it patronizing. I Def didn't feel it was the latter , how she meant it. Would you feel a bit dismissed? My sister said it doesn't sound like the latter and that she wouldn't continue..esp. that she dismissed helping me to apply for disability due to my PTSD.
