Oh man ((TN)). That sounds like it was a really disturbing way to end a session. I would not like that either. I'm sorry it's so hard right now. I agree that I think you'll have to have more conversation around your T's comment to better understand just what he meant. I know my T doesn't have any pictures in her office. She has mentioned her kids here and there, never her husband even though I know she's married (I've seen him in the driveway coming or going). I think every T has their own opinion and way about bringing (or not) some of their personal life into the therapy. It does sound very confusing though to have a real live piece of his life so in your face. That would be incredibly difficult, given what you've been through. Small steps forward, that's all you can do. Keep going and keep trudging through the yuck.
