It does feel just a little defensive.
There is some underlying truth in what she is saying. It would be nice if I was able to stay steady in the face of not so good news.
But she is missing part of the bigger picture - if she was able to say (maybe call instead of text) "I'm sorry this misunderstanding happened. I imagine you must feel hurt." IF she knew me, she would know that I would feel dismissed, so easily replaced by another client.
As I mentioned, I am no longer upset over the initial incident. I am upset by each session that seems to run in circles, with no further mutual understanding.
I wish I could remember more of our conversation today when I became more and more confused. But my daughter has her ipod blaring and I can't concentrate right now.
