Oh, man, your poor T, treehouse! Those are tough shoes to fill. I wonder what my T would do if I said that to him. My T is of the same school, but he is not as non-directive as Carl, although less directive than many Ts. Carl is just so healing. I like how your T said, "I'm only a therapist." Once, early on in therapy, I told my T I thought he was a great therapist or some such hyperbole, and he said "there are lots better therapists than I am." I have not found that to be true at all, lol. The other day we were talking about the failure to solve certain problems when I went to see a family therapist with my daughter, and T said well if he had been the therapist, he would have handled it like such and such, because he is more skilled. Hmmmm, where is modesty now? It's interesting to hear our therapists talk about themselves as therapists, isn't it?

It sounds like you had a great session, treehouse, and covered a lot of ground. It sounds like things are going well!
