Sounds like a horrible session. I think I would have left. I hate sitting in silence.
I think I want a perfect therapist too. I think the reason this week was so distressing, among other things, is that when I made a list of what I was upset with my therapist about, he didn't defend himself, he said, "I can see why you would be upset." I WANTED him to argue with me, for it to be all in my head. I didn't want him to make mistakes. Even little tiny ones.
He said people who care about each other sometimes hurt each other. And that being mad doesn't suddenly make your skull transparent with a ticker-tape of your thoughts running through in plain sight. So even if you know someone is mad, you still might not know why or what they are thinking. So speaking up is the only way to clear the air.
I'm glad you spoke up. I hope you get to keep your slot.
