I haven't posted here in a while. So hello to those who were there when I struggled with my therapy.

I have been seering my therapist since July 2017. We have a pretty great relationship and I trust her...HOWEVER, this week she said something that unintentionally sent me into a spiral. I always felt dirty and gross in regards to long term abuse by step-dad. Logically, I have no reason to feel this way. The abuser should feel these things.

Anyway, I was describing to her signs of my abuse that others should have seen but failed to do so. I told her of a specific event with pictures as proof. Her reaponse to my desription was wow that is gross. i KNOW it is in reference to what happend and what he did but it also triggers me feeling gross. Gross things happened and I was involved. I wish I didn't have to wait another week to talk to her. Sometimes I hate therapy and this is one of those times.

Yes, that would be a good thing to mention. Can you message her in advance?

I stuggle with outside contact she has always allowed it but q couple of years ago she brought up really limiting it. So now I reserve it for times when things are really bad.

I think she had a bad choice in words. Definitely bring it up with her when you see her next week.

What is she doing passing judgment? Thag is so not her job. Its supposed to be unconditional positive regard. She needs a refresher course. Im a little angry on your behalf.
