Wow Acc!! You nailed it! That's exactly how it went down. When I spoke about it with my IC we discussed how I could have handled it differently from the beginning. She said it would have been better to ask if she didn't mind watching S6 so that I could have a day instead of just "telling" her that's what she was going to do. It was more controlling behavior on my part. When we discussed it in MC it was just like you said. She even admitted to being so angry at that point that it didn't matter what I said. You hit it dead on. I had a chance to validate and empathize and I didn't That's a big part of what I'm working on. Listen, validate, empathize.
