My T makes a lot of jokes that could be construed as inappropriate. Initially I didn't mind because it made me feel more comfortable and that if i also said something that might not be OK socially then i wouldn't be judged. This was in comparison to having a T before who was very polished and as such I felt i couldn't say certain things and I suppose be fully vulnerable.
Last session my T made a passing comment about his fractured finger being like self harm everytime he accidently knocked it because it reminded him he was alive. For some reason i found this really inapproiate for a therapist to start talking about. I have never spoken to him about self harm before but I actually find it triggering and i didn't know what to talk about. it was just bizaar. |

What a strange thing for him to come out with. I wouldn’t have known what to say either! Did you let him know it was triggering?

No I just went into poker face mode were I kinda uninterestingly participate in the conversation until it dies down. I don't really want to bring it up either but I probably should. I have a habit of building resentment with therapists and then not doing the work
