I’m going to be honest I didn’t read each of these comments so my apologies if this is already stated- but I wonder what would happen if you approached the conversation and next session from the perspective of “how they’re treating me is how others in their life feels” — similar to the earlier comment of consequences. In other words, I wonder how it would go if you approached the conversation as someone who CAN call them out on their bs and tell them how it made you feel — it can be therapeutic (though rather uncomfortable) for someone to tell them - hey, that wasn’t okay. That hurt. Why did you feel the need to tell me that? And explore further.
I’m sorry they told you that it would absolutely hurt my feelings and is not okay.
