IMO you already know the answer to this Sunny - and is it true that CBT directs you to ignore thoughts and feelings? Or to recognize and understand them, and then not permit yourself to act on them compulsively? two very different things. I am NO kind of authority on this entire science but everywhere I hear that thoughts and feelings are not to be pushed away and ignored because there are consequences to doing so.
This other feeling is that LI is "flavor of the month" for T.
wow that was my first thought too.

It seems that your confidence in T's stability and your trust in him are severely shaken; i would think that this is certainly something you need to talk about with him and at length too. You have had such positive things to relate so far, I hope you won't just quit without going into it with him; his response can make a big difference in your decision; also, if he really is starting to go into "flavor of the month", you could wake him up a little and it might help his other clients not to have to go through the same thing...
good luck - this sounds like a hard one.
