I just loved your poem! I will say though that not all T's have T's. Psychologists (once qualified) have to be able to work independently though they may have 'supervision.' Supervision is similar in some respects to therapy but is not about the supervisor telling the T what to do or how to. It tends to be about work loads, schedules and responsibilities.

The boss is you but the buck needs to stop at your own therapist, so if your T is having a problem it should be up to them to sort it out. The T needs to be competent enough to recognize there own stuff, feelings and wellness and be able to support you while you work on becoming your own aurthority. And 'Who decides what is true?' YOU!
