>>>Shouldn't she congratulate you for making a cozy nest for yourself where you could feel safe?<<
She did like the idea of my closet - I don't think I inferred otherwise. The part of my current conversation that got me upset was that she wants me to recreate that closet in my mind --- so I have a safe place to go to when I feel upset. It makes sense to me now but at the time it felt like she was asking me to build walls around myself - which seems counter-intuitive to therapy.
I specifically asked my therapist to make an interpretation that day. We were at a standstill and I didn't understand (and to a larger extent still do not) the point she was trying to make. So I said "Why don't you tell me you think I'm so angry."
