Maybe suggest family therapy in the future? If she's so worried that you were talking trash she probably (at least subconsciously) realizes that there are some things she could work on..

Wait. Do we have the same mother?! I know what you're going through! Please know that you aren't alone and things CAN change for the better!

Is there any reason you need to be near your mother? I mean physical reasons, like you live with her (or need to carpool). It sounds like you need to put some distance between you and your mother She sounds like a negative person and you should keep negative people as far away as possible.

I would have told her that I was talking shit about her the entire session, and will do during every session thereafter.

say yes to get under her skin =/

i know what that is like, add crack head to the mix and you got my mother. the first thing i needed to kearn was, that the word 'adult' is just a word to describe someone over a certain age, their mentality is not in question. ive dropped contact with my mum, lets hope your mother learns before it comes to that. good luck.

I would take the bus to and from therapy. you should spend the whole next session talking shit about her

wow my relationship with my mom in a nutshell. Good luck OP. I know how it feels.

Your sessions with your psychiatrist are private and your mother cannot ask your therapist to tell her what you told him. Just keep the peace, and redirect the conversation. You are better off not confronting her and continuing to go to therapy.

You have better odds of success if you start creating distance between you and her now
