There were so many wonderful moments in your description, but this one really caught my eye.

That is what I have felt would be a big disadvantage of having the same T for both individual and group therapy---discussion of what happens in group might begin to invade one's time with one's T and steal that valuable time away from individual therapy. Good for you for standing firm for what you need in therapy and keeping your individual time for you.

Sounds like therapy has been a huge success!
