That was a brave and honest thing to say! And you are right, you are a better mom than your T is --- even though he is your therapist/mommy --- he is a guy, and a guy just can't be a mom --- something to do with double tasking, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and the left & right brain hemispheres --- I'm pretty sure.
Those pure and honest moments are so good. I'm glad you said exactly what you thought.
My T and I had a vaguely similar conversation. I asked her if she was scared of my rage that I'm holding onto. She replied, "As long as you use words I am not scared. You can tell me that you want to push my bookcase on my head, but if you act on it, throw a book at me, then I would have a problem." I think your T was setting limits with you. Back to being a grown up.
We're here for you this week. You can do this. This of what you have already come through.
