My ex-T, I used to be in his face with that question. What's the matter with me? Why am I acting this way? This doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel like me at all, this is not my usual way of interacting with people, why am I acting like this with You?
He'd just shrug his shoulders a little and look distressed or upset or just shut down. Or ask a question or say, "I'm not your therapist" ... but it was as my therapist that these weird behaviours of mine manifested themselves, and he absolutely MUST know the answer, he brought those behaviours out with his own behaviours.
What a schmuck, I keep telling myself okay he has a problem or he had a problem with me and just because he wasn't honest with me about it that doesn't mean it's the end of the world, I just have to get over it.
No one ever said a therapy relationship would be honest, it's just what I expected. I didn't get what I expected and that's no reason to have a tantrum.
I just need to get over it.
