Ouch - I can see why this hurts.
My T would be exactly the same. If I want her to read something she asks me to read it out in a session. I think I understand that. Because hypothetically speaking, if one day I gave her some journalling and she read it then the next time, encouraged by her, I gave her more to read, then after a while, even more. So eventually if it was taking up too much of her time, then she would have to tell me that she couldn't read it, which would upset me because she had changed the rules. So setting a firm boundary and never accepting anything written makes sense to me. I think a video would probably be the same with her.However, that's my T, not yours, and I think you deserve a proper explanation from your T.
What do you think the video tells him about you that he hasn't found out yet? Would it help to discuss that with him?
