Therapy is not fragile with a good therapist such as yours.
What I meant, was, the way, we clients, sometimes keep it kind of high up in a pedestal and any reality seems to bring huge distress to us. Like when I was in therapy, my therapist once wrote a email to me and it had his wife's name in the From line. I was totally devastated and started crying seeing that, even though it was a very very simple mistake on his part. I started extrapolating it - and wondering about if his wife reads all my emails, or if he gave away "my special email id" to his wife indicating that I don't matter anymore. I even thought if he purposefully did it - to let me know that he had a wife and I was not to continue writing to him.
So those kind of expectations that I had was fragile. That is what I meant.
