In reply to Worst moments in therapy, posted by Dinah on August 15, 2004, at 0:11:42
My worse moment consisted of a misunderstanding. My T had mentioned to me previously that her husband is a lawyer. Leading into what I was talking about, I asked her what kind of law her husband practiced. She answered and asked why I wanted to know. I explained that my husband and I were probably going to need a lawyer. Boy, did she get defensive and overly-dramatic about that. I realize I should have chosen my words more carefully, but I was in no insinuating that I wanted her husband to be our lawyer, nor was I seeking advice. I was merely trying to gauge how much she'd be able to follow the conversation as far as the law goes. I've never had the courage to bring that up and explain myself for fear it would just make it worse, but it's been over a year ago now and it still bothers me.
