[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so, so sorry.  I can only imagine.

This is relatively minor, but I'm just having a day... work, kids, covid, blah.  So this AM I had a virtual session with my therapist, who I've been seeing for 10 years and has helped me through some major life stuff.  I often think I'd be friends with her even if I didn't pay her.  She always makes me feel better.

Well I made an offhand comment about agreeing with a friend who had had COVID - pretty severe, but she's ok now - and had said "I'd go through it again just to open and be done with this."  So my therapist goes "PEOPLE ARE DYING [MY NAME]!"

OMFG I know that, and this is supposed to be a safe and nonjudgmental space, and I'm not even DOING anything (as in we are following all the rules etc), I was just expressing frustration.  She backtracked and I know she is close to people who have died etc, and she's human, but it just upset me.  She KNOWS me, she KNOWS I'm a good and empathetic person, but damn I can't even be honest about my frustrations in THERAPY?

Vent over.  So sorry OP- agree with others can you try to bring in a tech guru to try?[/quote]

OP here.  Oh man.  OF course your therapist should know better!  we are all just so done with this.  Maybe chalk it up to her being under crazy stress too.  I think people are doing all sorts of thoughtless things they wouldn't normally because everyone's nerves are frayed and we are all tired.  but that gives you every right to vent and be annoyed she did this, as much as it explains her lapse in judgment![/quote]
