Oh, yay, tabitha. I'm glad she could see your side, and how her approach was affecting you. Good for you for telling her about it, and good for her for finally hearing you. It sounds like she was able to validate you to some extent, even if she couldn't admit that your perspective might be right. Which sounds like it might be difficult for her in general, so maybe that's a really big step for both of you.
I totally agree with others about the delicate flower thing. I think I'm a delicate flower too, and I'm ok with that (or getting there). What you said that your T said about your reaction to conflict in group and your experience in life makes so much sense. Some people are just constitutionally good at conflict and some aren't, and then some people are taught skills for it and some aren't. And some of us get the short end of both sticks. But oh well, that's what therapy is for, right?
It sounds like checking meds before making any decisions is probably a good idea. You're so brave, and you're still sounding strong and level-headed.
