Kiya, I was confused about what you talked about with your T--was it attachment or abuse? In either case, it sounds hard but like something you needed to get out. I think it is good you told her you were holding back (due to the lack confidentiality with other providers rule at your clinic, right?) and that that got her attention. Maybe it will help her understand how threatening and scary it can be for a client to not have confidentiality with her therapist.

We determined that there was no need for her to tell any of it to the other dr (the DO) because it would not serve me or her.
That's good news. What is a DO? Is it Doctor of Osteopathy? What service does a DO provide? I hope you can find someone who is a better fit.

THe part that still concerns me is that T was very explicit in making sure that she goes the extra mile for me and will see me even when she won't see others because she knows how much i need it. that felt really uncomfortable.
What does that mean? That she would see you more frequently than she typically does with other clients? Different clients have different needs. It is OK to give different services to different clients.
