Isn't this a fairly new r/s? (And weren't we going to talk about our two mutual friends?) If work IS going so well, then we don't dwell on it much, it certainly isn't worth criticizing T for - why would you yell at T about a happy part of your life? How can that help him make it better? I could accept yelling at T for a cruddy part of your life, but this might be hard for a T to understand? Thinking out loud here - it didn't sound like you were trying to share credit with him for your success. So what was/is going on? I can't figure this out, except a certain sexual occurrence comes to mind (not trying to be coarse, not sure how it's related!). Hope I didn't offend, i'm just puzzled by what's going on, as it seems you are also.
I do think it is all about the client and one does not need to worry about the therapist or the therapist's feelings. And why would a client who had success need to share credit with a therapist? Just another approach.
