Oh wow - my heart goes out to you! I understand so much what you're experiencing, and I'm so sorry for it. My t keeps a straight face when I tell her things like that, but I hear you it makes me wonder if they are just sick of hearing similar things among clients. I do not, in any way or circumstance feel your t should have remarked, "yea, I hear about this stuff all the time" that is rude! I can only imagine a client feeling so not validated after hearing that - seriously. It's like saying to you, "ok - so you're not normal, what can I do for you?" Argghh that irates me, but I'll get over it lol
What kind of response from her were you wanting or expecting? I would suggest instead of assuming your therapist knows what you are needing from her, tell her what you wrote here, but remember, reassurance isn't always a good thing, it comes from within, not another human being, trust me, been there, still there ;)
Take good care of you :)
