Ouch. Are you going to see him again before Christmas? If so, give him heck. He's not supposed to do things like that at such a stressful time of year.

It sounds like he let his frustration get the better of him. If he's otherwise a good therapist, why don't you try assuming he was on a narcotic pain reliever or something, and wasn't in control of his behavior. At least talk to him. Even if he felt frustrated, it isn't terribly therapeutic to present it to you in quite the manner he did.

I *hate* the manipulative charges. I once told my therapist that just because he *felt* manipulated doesn't mean that I was intending to be manipulative, or even that I *was* being manipulative. That he was confusing his feelings with my intent. And then I told him my reasons for doing what I was doing, which were completely different than his assumptions. We weren't even on the same chapter, never mind the same page.

When do you see him next?
