I'm not talking about just what the T says "about" you; you recognized she wasn't enough for you and left; you're half the contract and she didn't do her side, for you.

My T was good at listening and communicating with others and that's what I wanted/needed and recognized in her and, in trying to be "like" her, that's what I learned and how I helped myself. My biggest complaint before T, although I didn't realize/know it, was I didn't have any words. I couldn't talk/express myself and what I said came out bizarre. Lots of that was my point of view (the inside of my head was bizarre :-) and wanting T and having to adjust to her, helped me adjust to the rest of the world because she was more attuned to the rest of the world while also being able to listen to me, personally.

I'm sure T's enjoy working with some "challenging" clients more than other, to-them, boring ones but both sides have to make a "whole", the client has to find the T useful too, see something in the other that they want. But, T's, like us, are individuals and maybe a T wants to work with the to-them boring clients especially as that is a challenge of sorts? But it still won't work if the client doesn't choose the T too.
